The Frank G. Brewer Trophy is a pewter statue of a nude figure with an airplane in his right hand and mercury wings in his left hand. The figure stands on top of a globe, which sits atop a stack of books. The statue is mounted on a trapezoidal wooden base with aluminum or brushed stainless steel name plates attached to the side of the base. The inscription reads "For the most outstanding contribution to the development of air youth in the fields of education and training".
Summary:
Established in 1943, the Frank G. Brewer Trophy is awarded to an individual, a group of individuals, or an organization for significant contributions of enduring value to aerospace education in the United States. The trophy is awarded annually by the National Aeronautic Association.
