story. The plaque was unveiled by Sir Archibald Sinclair, the Secretary of State for Air. He said at the ceremony: Here was a young man for whom life held much. Under no kind of compulsion he came to fight for Britain. He came and he fought and he died. Other tributes to Fiske include a memorial tablet dedicated to him in the crypt of the Cathedral of Saint John the Divine, New York. The United States Bobsled and Skeleton Federation also created the Billy Fiske Memorial Trophy as a posthumous tribute to him. The trophy is awarded to the national champion four-man bobsled team each year. In addition to a 2005 documentary (American Warrior: Billy Fiske), Red Valley Productions performed a new play based on his life called Billy Fiske: King of Speed at the Alexandra Theatre, Bognor Regis from 20–25 July 2010. The Billy Fiske Foundation is currently working with the Wandsworth Council to finalise a site in Nine Elms Park near the U.S. embassy in London for the Billy Fiske statue. Artist Jenna Gearing was commissioned to create the work of art, which is sculpted in bronze.
