QR–Cure–Quizzing Realms–416

This one should be interesting. It’s not all that easy, mind you.

Shown here are several trophies awarded to various pilots belonging to the US Air Force during the 1920s and 1930s, who plied their trade in the McCook Airfield and Wilbur Wright airfield in the state of Ohio. What are the names of these trophies, and why were they awarded?

Happy quizzing, and have a nice life, folks!

***

Only three answers, out of whom SS Panda and Ali are correct. These are indeed the Blunder Trophies. They were awarded to bumbling pilots for actions like flying off without enough fuel for the mission or bungling easy landings.
