Flygarmonumentet, Bronze sculpture at Karlaplan, Stockholm, Sweden
The Flygarmonumentet features an eagle with extended wings spanning 7.5 meters and standing at a height of 1.85 meters on a granite base.
Carl Milles created this monument in 1931 to honor Swedish aviation pioneers who died during the 1898 North Pole expedition and early flight operations.
The monument base contains reliefs depicting Icarus, balloonists, and early warplanes, representing the evolution of human flight through different eras.
The sculpture stands near Karlaplan metro station, making it accessible to visitors exploring the central district of Stockholm.
A chamber within the monument originally stored memorial medals for each deceased Swedish pilot until the 1940s.
