On this particular visit, Kent had just taken receipt of this mounted Goshawk. No ordinary Goshawk for this was once owned by the notorious Hermann Goring, Reichjagermeister and Reichsfeldmarshall - Commander of the German Luftwaffe during WW II.

It was presented by Hermann Goring to the then Captain R.L. Meredith, the doyen of American Falconry, following their meeting at the International Falconry Exhibition sponsored by the Deutscher Falkenorden, Berlin, 1937.

It was donated to the Archives by Octavia Hall.
