The Golden Age of Air Racing

The Golden Age of Air Racing in the U.S.A. during the 1930's was one of the most important periods in aviation history, and will never be repeated. However, the thrills and personalities of this exciting period of aviation are recaptured in this dynamic book. The details of the great races, photos of both the pilots and their planes, time and speed tables, the history of the racers, and interesting anecdotes, are all included. This book honors the pilots, designers and builders of that era and are a tribute to the EAA members of today who are carrying on the high ideals and great traditions of sport aviation.
