I have many aviation trophies and awards on file (Collier, McKee, Mulvihill, Webster) but I have no idea which aviation trophy was awarded to Neil Armstrong in this photograph?

Could be "Daedalus" or "Icarus" or even "Mercurius" but the latter would need winged sandals.

There is the Order of Daedalians which is a military pilot's fraternal organization.

1975 - Wings-of-Man award (given also to X-15 pilots as the X-15 is shown in the medal).
