Swaab's Aero Club Medal, probably issued in late 1918. Early in the war the Club committed to presenting a medal to "every Allied flyer" but somewhere must have ran out of money. I've seen a handful to highly decorated pilots and some to obscure recipients, but a relatively small number next to their original commitment.
