This award, presented since 1966, recognizes “outstanding individual
contributions to aviation safety, through basic design, device or practice.”
A retired U.S. Navy admiral and a Foundation president in the mid-1950s,
de Florez was influential in the development of early flight simulators.
He received the 1943 Collier Trophy — one of the most prestigious
awards for aeronautical achievement in the United States — for his
work in training combat pilots and flight crews. De Florez established
a trust to support the award that carries his name and to provide each
recipient with $1,000. The award includes a handsome, wood-framed, hand-lettered
citation.
The nominating deadline is May 9, 2008; the award is presented
at the FSF
International Air Safety Seminar (IASS).
