Description

Enthusiasm for aviation exploded after Charles Lindbergh,s solo flight across the Atlantic in May 1927.

The National Air Races, held in Cleveland between 1929 and 1949, collectively represent one of the most significant aviation events of the 20th century.

Cleveland,s newly constructed municipal airport, the world,s largest airport facility at the time, along with its permanent 50,000-seat bleachers, won the city hosting rights to the event.

The National Air Races captivated the public during the grim years of the Great Depression and provided a showcase for many aviation innovations including retractable landing gear, low-wing monoplanes, aircooled engines, and careful streamlining.

A deadly crash ended the National Air Races more than 50 years ago, but the races made an unforgettable impression.

This book should reinforce the memories of those who saw the races firsthand and pique the interest of those who have always wished they had.
