In the history of aviation, the period from the
late 1920s to the mid-1930s was known as "The Golden Age of Air Racing". A time
when aviation was still in its infancy. Air races were sponsored by well
intentioned entrepreneurs offering thousands of dollars in prize money during
the money-tight Great Depression, hence aircraft builders were enticed to
produce race planes. The reality of flight soon progressed from flimsy aircraft
with questionable power and poor controls, to aircraft designed for one purpose
- speed- Aviation pioneers from the military, aircraft companies, as well as
lone individuals strove for the glory of crossing the finishing line first.
Thus entered the Granville brothers of Springfield, Massachusetts, who were
building two seat biplanes for private use (the Gee Bee Model A). These
gentlemen went on to build some of the most famous race planes of that era.
Aircraft that won many races and set new speed records, making use of new and
bold design concepts to squeeze as much speed out of the powerplants as
possible.
