View source for Edward Warner Award

The '''Edward Warner Award''' is an award that's given in the field of [[aviation]] to aviation pioneers or organizations that have contributed to [[civil aviation]]. The award is named after [[Edward Pearson Warner]], the first President of the council of [[ICAO]].

The award consists of two items: a medal and a certificate. The medal is made of solid gold and is inscribed with the recipient's name. The certificate is a recognition citing the reasons for the award. The Edward Warner Award is recognized throughout the world as the greatest single honour the international civil aviation community can bestow, for its importance is derived from the fact that it is given by ICAO on behalf of its Member States. No other international civil aviation award offers such wide recognition.
