Plaque – Libya, Air Force, Air Force Academy

Plaque of the Libyan Air Force Academy from the period of the Libyan Jamahiriya (the rule of Muammar al-Gaddafi), associated with the Air Force Academy of the Libyan Arab Air Force.

An oval enameled plaque made of metal (brass), with a blue enameled background and a gilt frame.

The central motif features an open book as a symbol of education and military training. Above the book is a circular target/eye, symbolizing precision, surveillance, and navigation, while above it is a stylized silhouette characteristic of air force symbolism.

On the ribbon below is an Arabic inscription:

“الكلية الجوية” (al-Kulliyya al-Jawwiyya) – Air Force Academy.

The plaque was most likely used as a protocol or ceremonial award, intended for instructors, officers, foreign advisers, or delegations, during the period from the 1970s to the late 1980s.

It represents an interesting and authentic item for collectors of military memorabilia, particularly related to aviation and countries of the Non-Aligned Movement.
