This photograph from the 1932 National Air Races shows Jimmy Doolittle winning that year's Thompson Trophy Race. Doolittle's plane is passing in front of one of the pylons (covered with an advertisement for the Bendix Corporation) that marked the turns on the race's closed 10-mile course. That year, Doolittle flew a Gee Bee "Model R-1" that averaged over 250 miles per hour. | Creator: Acme Newspictures | Date: September 5, 1932 | Source: Cleveland Memory, Michael Schwartz Library Special Collections at Cleveland State UniversityDownload Original File
