The first monument represented the aviator in his plane taking off towards the sea.
He thus refers to the memory of his daily reconnaissance flight which he carried out and in which he lost his life.
The second monument and more sober.
Two concrete walls representing airplane wings, placed vertically, support a platform on which the bust of Guynemer, recovered from the old monument, is placed.
On one of the wings there is an engraving of the airplane model used by Guynemer, while the other pays homage to the exploits of the aviator.

Very nice monument in the immediate vicinity of the "MUSÉE DUNKERQUE 1940 OPÉRATION DYNAMO". Georges Guynemer is one of the most famous French war pilots of the First World War. He emerged victorious in a verified 53 air battles; he received special recognition for his duel against the German flying ace Ernst Udet.
