Who We Are
Inspiring Tomorrow’s Military Aviators to Reach New Heights
The Daedalians started with 35 WWI pilots bound together by a spirit of aerial camaraderie and patriotism. More than a century later, we honor their legacy as the first to fly in defense of our nation. We’re the premier membership of aviators from across the U.S. armed forces that come together to honor our rich heritage and inspire the future of military aviation.

2022 Founder Coin Series
Throughout the year, six limited-edition challenge coins will be released, each featuring a different Daedalian Founder. The Order of Daedalians was originally founded to preserve the memory of the World War I pilots who were the first to fly in time of war. This challenge coin series advances a key component of our mission, honoring those who flew in defense of our nation. Proceeds will be put towards our scholarship and flying training programs, as young Americans follow in our Founder’s footsteps as tomorrow’s military aviators.
