Jorge Chavez was the first man to fly over the Alps, I believe. Unhappily, he died a few days after crash landing.

    September 27, 1910 is the date of his death. The flight was on 9/23.

    What is the size and material of that Peruvian Aviation League medal, and is it part of a series honoring Peruvian aviators or a stand-alone?

    My peruvian newps: two varieties of the 1923 Sol, and they're both nicely toned too.

    Peruvian Sols are very attractive. I have a few.

    As for the medal, it appears to be silver, it is about 22.5 mm and as far as I know, it is stand-alone.

    My Peruvian neighbor upstairs says that Chavez is a big hero there.
