Monument to the Heroes of the Air, Aviation memorial in Aviators' Square, Bucharest, Romania.
The bronze monument features a central obelisk crowned by a 5-meter statue depicting a winged figure, supported by four trapezoidal prisms connected through arcs.
The construction process began in 1927 with a committee formation, leading to a public competition where twenty designs were displayed at the Romanian Athenaeum.
The monument contains thirteen bronze plaques displaying names of Romanian airmen who lost their lives between 1912 and 1938 during aviation missions.
Visitors can reach the monument via Aviatorilor Boulevard, with its location near Piata Victoriei and Charles de Gaulle Square offering convenient access.
The central statue combines the physical form of boxer Joe Louis with the facial features of a period aviator, creating an unexpected artistic fusion.
