pt.2 National Air Races, 1936: a woman and a motorcyclist hitch a ride on a moving plane, inverted flying, and of course a crash. The Aerial Nurse Corps of America were waiting in the first aid field tent.
1936 National Air Races: Aerial Nurse Corps’ inaugural post, first women to win the Bendix Race, stunt pilots, and a crash at the end. Pages 39-48 in the book explain this race in detail. It was a huge event of parades with 30 floats from downtown Los Angeles 30 miles to the Airport with squadrons of military planes flying overhead. I can’t image an event like that today.
