4.0 out of 5 stars A complete history. Full of stats and photos, November 13, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: The Golden Age of Air Racing: Pre-1940 (Eaa Historical Series) (Paperback)
This book is a good read on a chapter by chapter basis. Each chapter is devoted to a specific event, plane or pilot. Each chapter took me about an hour to read, so there are many hours of enjoyable reading to be had.

Aircraft information includes the basic size wieght speed engine and usually a 3-view of the airframe.

There are numerous listings of race results through the various years. If you like to go through the results and find out who flew what how fast, its probably here.

There are lots of photos and drawings to use as reference while reading.

If I had to say one negative thing about the book, it would be "It sometimes got bogged down in detail". But if detail is what you are looking for, this may be a book for you.
