Attention Air Race Fans
Anyone out there looking for info, pics, and/or history of the Reno Air Races, I just came across the series of books by Reed Kinert entitled Racing Planes and Air Races. The first 3 volumes deal with the early days of Air Racing (1909-1939). After that, it really gets good with the postwar Thompson Trophy Races(1946-1949) and early Reno action(1964-1967). 1968-1978 is covered with a separate volume for each year, covering Reno as well as any other venues of that year. These books are awesome for the Air Race Nut, with all the results, great aircraft shots and pilot pictures when they were somewhat younger. Anyone trying to research the races or someone new to the game will learn all there is to know about Reno and be able to match names to faces. You can get these books from ebay or abebooks. I got all 13 volumes and I was impressed. I believe the series doesn't go past 1978, however, but I find the newer stuff easier to find anyways. Other books of Reno Air Race interest include:
Fly Low, Fly Fast-Robert Gandt, SUPERSHOW-various, Unlimited Air Racers-Don Berliner, RacePlane Tech Series-Veronico&Grantham and the newest, Air Racing over Reno - Philip Handleman. These books will answer any question you would ever have about that wonderful event we know as the RENO AIR RACES!!!!!
