The Lahm award was first considered in 1967 and arrangements were completed with the Air Training Command so as to allow its implementation in 1979. It is given annually to the flying training wing judged by the commander of Air Education and Training Command to have had the most effective flight safety program during the award period. Initially called the Daedalian Air Training Command Flight Safety Award, it was memorialized to General Lahm in 1981. General Lahm, one of the first two military pilots to learn to fly in 1909 from Wilbur Wright, was one of the original Military Aviators designated by General Order No. 39 on May 27, 1913. He was the top authority for establishing flying training programs in the fledgling Air Service.

Presented to the outstanding U.S. Air Force Academy cadet in the order of graduation. Awarded since 1959 in memory of brothers Lieutenant Generals Millard F. Harmon Jr. and Hubert R. Harmon.
Millard Harmon was commander of Task Force 93, Strategic Air Force, Pacific Ocean Areas, when the plane he was on disappeared on Feb. 26, 1945. He was on his way from Guam to Washington, D.C. The aircraft was never found. He was Daedalian Founder Member #599.
Hubert Harmon was retired and called back to active duty (a second time) on Nov. 8, 1953, at the request of the president of the United States, to become special assistant to the chief of staff for air academy matters. On Aug. 14, 1954, he became the first superintendent of the U.S. Air Force Academy at its temporary home at Lowry AFB, Colorado. He was Daedalian Founder Member #1093.
While in some cases, only the names of the crew captains are listed, it should be recognized that crew teamwork is a vital factor in exceptional performance.
