An Engineer’s View of the Races

The National Air Races have just been held for the fifth time. For the first time among those five occasions the Pulitzer, with no new machines entered, has failed to dominate the week, except through a tragedy, and for the second time among the five civilian contestants have had a really important share elsewhere than in the “On-to” race.

My First American Air Meet

Having seen most of the big Continental Air Meetings since that at Reims in August 1909, the first flying race-meeting in the world, when Glenn Curtiss won the Gordon Bennett Cup, it is naturally interesting to compare them with the meeting at Dayton and so the readers of AVIATION may like to have some of the resultant impressions.

A First Impression of the Races

After the tremendous success of the St. Louis meet and the wonderful records made there in the Pulitzer Trophy race, the Dayton race might appear to be somewhat of an anticlimax. A splendid opportunity for the service officers, the manufacturers, the engineers and pilots to get together, to renew and cement old friendships and especially to gossip, but not productive of technical lessons or surprising developments.

The Mitchell and Pulitzer Trophy Races

Of the two races the contest among pilots of the 1st Pursuit Group, from Selfridge Field, for the John L. Mitchell Trophy was by far the more interesting. In the first place, there were eleven entries—as against four in the Pulitzer race—and the greater number of competing ships, all evenly matched because they were strictly service types, made the race an exciting thing to watch.

Publisher’s News Letter

The first opportunity that AVIATION has had in a long time to praise Dayton and its enterprising citizens is one of the pleasing sides of the Dayton Meet. The meet was excellently planned, managed and run. Money was spent in preparation with a freedom that was startling to some of the visitors.
