Hi Oleg,

In Italy they have the "Medaglia al Valore Aeronautico". It was instituted by royal decree in 1927, finalized 1932. It comes in three versions, gold, silver and bronze.

On the uniform this badge is worn (nastrino della medaglia d'oro al valor aeronautico):

I speak Italian, lived there for four years, but am no expert on Italian medals. Hopefully an Italian forum memeber can help more.
