Air Races Stickers
Description: The National Air Races finally came to Cleveland Municipal (now Cleveland-Hopkins International) Airport in 1929. Local businessmen Louis W. Greve and Frederick C. Crawford played a big role in bringing the event to Cleveland. Both men were involved in the aviation industry -- then thriving in Cleveland -- with Greve's Cleveland Pneumatic Tool Company making landing gears and Crawford's Thompson Products (later TRW) involved in the production of aircraft engine valves.
Description: The 1936 National Air Races (NAR) were held in Los Angeles, CA September 4-8. Two significant events that year were the introduction of the Caudron-Renault racer by Michel Detroyat of France, and the winning of the Bendix cross-country competition by two women, Register pilots Louise Thaden and Blanche Wilcox Noyes.
