Two circular sides of a bronze medal depict flight themes. On the left, a bird with broad wings soars right over rounded, billowing clouds, with "FLIGHT" inscribed along the curved bottom edge. On the right, a muscular, nude man kneels facing left, lifting a small, stylized airplane above his head. A sun with sharp, radiating rays rises behind him. Beside him, "19 BP 41" is inscribed, with the "BP" encircled.
