Hi all — Spaatz #1 through Spaatz #513 were eligible to receive the Falcon Award. This information about the Falcon Award recipients was authenciated from old “CAP News” and “Annual Reports to Congress” publications. The earliest Falcon awards were numbered. When it officially becasme a Senior Program Award the numbering of the award was dropped. Let us hear from you!
Steve,
Thanks for the note. I’ve updated the master chart above to show the period of both numbered and unnumbered awards…and then a list of “others” for those we don’t have firm info for.

I received the 85th Falcon Award in 1971. Do not recall the exact date and the certificate is buried in storage.
Regards to all,
Doug Maymon #122
Steve,
I received Spaatz #445 in 1977 and then my Frank E. Borman Falcon Award in 1978 (I think), which was unnumbered, when I turned senior. I have the certificate laying around here somewhere but couldn’t lay my hands on it in a hurry.
I received an unnumbered Frank Borman Falcon Award Certificate on 23 January 1975.
Harry L. Harting, Jr.
Spaatz #273
Harry,
Thanks for the update. I’ve included you in the master table. Also, thanks to some help from CAPMEMBERS.com, we’ve updated all the 1967 numbered Falcon Awards.

I received an unnumbered Falcon Award on Aug 10 1977. Spaatz Award #308. CA Wing.
Your info is correct. I did receive my Falcon in the Fall of 1969.
The commander of CAP presented this to me in front of the AF ROTC
unit at Tulane.
Brig Gen Richard N. Ellis, USAF, 1 Nov 1969 – 31 Oct 1972
So, I received my award right after he was appointed.
The award was numbered. You show someone in 1969 as award number 50.
I think my number may have been 49 but am not sure.
Don’t have the certificate. I do remember an intense desire to beat
number 50 in both my Spaatz and Falcon. Spaatz is #44.
Interestingly, the reason the good General came to me was that he had
a daughter at Newcombe, which was an all female school that is part of Tulane.
He wanted to visit his daughter. We even laughed about that. Very nice guy.
I received my Falcon Award on 25 Aug 75 as a CAP Chief Warrant Officer. The certificate was unnumbered, so I have no idea where I am in the line-up. The certificate was signed by CAP Brig Gen William M. Patterson (CAP/CC) and USAF Brig Gen Leslie J. Westberg (HQ CAP-USAF/CC).
