ABOUT
It was the greatest international competition of its day – a thrilling, globe-trotting, high speed air racing series that married cutting-edge technology with astonishing skill, bravery and danger.
Duelling at 400 mph just a few feet from sea surface left pilots little margin for error. For over a decade, as aircraft of Great Britain, the United States, France and Italy fought for the prize, the Schneider Trophy represented the pinnacle of aviation development.
Featuring an extraordinary cast of characters, from Jimmy Doolittle to T.E. Lawrence, and packed with tales of excitement, ingenuity, derring-do, triumph and tragedy on every page, The Schneider Trophy Races brings vividly to life the world’s fastest motorsport.
Includes monochrome images and maps.
