WET WINGS & DROP TANKS: Recollections of American Transcontinental Air Racing 1928-1970

Here is a unique book about many of the personalities, pilots and aircraft involved in major transcontinental races across the United States from 1928-1970. Cross-country unlimited class events - including non-stop air derbies of the late 1920s, the famous Bendix Trophy Races of the 1930s and 1940s and modern Reno Harolds Club Trophy to 1970 - produced some of the most exciting and heartbreaking tournaments on record. This is an extensive history of the many factors involved in the isolated, lonely environment of long distance air racing.
