This is the history of air racing from its beginnings in 1909 at
Reims, France, to the end of the 2008 racing season at Reno,
Nevada. The history of air racing is very much the history of
aviation, with glamorous pilots, some of military fame (e.g., Jimmy
Doolittle) and builders (e.g., Glenn Curtiss), machines that
captivated the national imagination, and many relatively unknown
tinkerers and designers. This book follows air racing from
pre-World War I European races, through the interwar years when
popular air races stimulated military design, and the booms and
struggles of the postwar years before racing found a permanent home
in the Nevada desert.
