Emil Strasser Photographs – 1932 National Air Races
It is time for another trip down the runway of memories. This time it is to Cleveland, Ohio, in the year 1932. The National Air Races (NAR) were flown from August 27 to September 5. The Thompson Trophy Race was held on the last day of the show. The Bendix Trophy Race from Burbank, Calif., to Cleveland was another major attraction of the National Air Races. We hope you will enjoy the 75-year trip.
