Enthusiasm for aviation exploded after Charles Lindbergh’s solo flight across the Atlantic in May 1927. The National Air Races, held in Cleveland between 1929 and 1949, collectively represent one of the most significant aviation events of the 20th century. Cleveland’s newly constructed municipal airport, the world’s largest airport facility at the time, along with its permanent 50,000-seat bleachers, won the city hosting rights to the event. The National Air Races captivated the public during the grim years of the Great Depression and provided a showcase for many aviation innovations including retractable landing gear, low-wing monoplanes, aircooled engines, and careful streamlining.

|Matowitz produces another thriller,
Tom Matowitz Jr.’s latest regional effort is another stunner for Ohioians familiar with his work. As a former employee of a Cleveland-area library, it has always been great to read Matowitz’s various regional magazine and book efforts and this one is among his best.
In fact Matowitz’s new book has national appeal as it delves into the fascinating minute of the famous Cleveland National Air Races of the 30′s and 40′s. This author/pilot has scared up important photographic documentation of this aviation pinnacle and has written some of the most well-researched and humane copy and cut lines I seen in quite a spell. Matowitz is a name Ohioians, and others, will hear again. A must for aviation fans of all stripes.
