English: Side view of the Pulitzer Trophy, on display at the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C.
The National Air Races were a series of closed-course and cross-country races that took place in the United States from 1920 to 1949. Newspaper publisher Ralph Pulitzer sponsored the races in 1919 as a prize for military airplanes.
The trophy itself was designed by Mario Korbel. It is made in 1919 of silver, and stands four feet high. It cost $5,000. The trophy is an Art Deco representation of a winged woman clad in flowing robes, standing on a tiny globe. Her robes transform into wings which are swept back and up. She holds aloft a wreath of victory. Wisps of cloud hover above her, and support a streamlined, Art Deco aircraft. The wings of the plane are scored to look like feathers.
The base is of cast bronze, painted black. The names of the winners of the trophy from 1920 to 1925 are inscribed on the base.
The trophy was cast by Roman Bronze Works, Inc. of New York City.
