Separate sheet "Today's Racing Entries Friday September Fourth laid in loose. -- No notable defects. -- Overall Condition. "The National Air Races also known as Pulitzer Trophy Races are a series of pylon and cross-country races that have taken place in the United States since 1920. The science of aviation and the speed and reliability of aircraft and engines grew rapidly during this period; the National Air Races were both a proving ground and showcase for this. -- In 1920 publisher Ralph Pulitzer sponsored the Pulitzer Trophy Race and the Pulitzer Speed Trophy for military airplanes at Roosevelt Field Long Island New York in an effort to publicize aviation and his newspaper. The races eventually moved to Cleveland in 1929 where they were known as the Cleveland National Air Races.2 They drew the best flyers of the time including James Doolittle Wiley Post Tex Rankin Frank Hawks Jimmy Wedell Roscoe Turner and others from the pioneer age of aviation. These air races helped to inspire Donald Blakeslee as a young boy. Other races included in the U.S. National Air Races were the Mitchell Trophy Race the Town & Country Club Race for civilians the Kansas City Rotary Club Trophy "for all three military services" and the Glenn Curtiss Trophy Race for "biplanes with engines having less than 510 cubic inches. Starting in 1929 the races usually ran for up to 10 days usually from late August to early September to include Labor Day. Aviation promoter Cliff Henderson was managing director of the National Air Races from 1928 to 1939. During World War II the races were on hiatus. The races included a variety of events including cross-country races originating in Portland Oakland and Los Angeles with a final destination in Cleveland.4: 79-81 Also included were landing contests glider demonstrations airship flights and parachute-jumping contests. The more popular events were the Thompson Trophy Races which started in 1929; a closed-course race where aviators raced their planes around pylons; and the Bendix Trophy Race the "transcontinental air race" across most of the USA starting in 1931. In 1929 a Santa Monica California to Cleveland Ohio route was started for the Women's Air Derby nicknamed the "Powder Puff Derby" featuring well-known female pilots such as Amelia Earhart Pancho Barnes Bobbi Trout and Louise Thaden. Thaden was the winner in the heavy Class D engines with 510-810 cubic inches 8400-13300 cm3 while Phoebe Omlie won the light Class C engines with 275-510 cubic inches 4510-8360 cm3. This was also the year for the first female pylon race the winner of which was awarded the Aerol Trophy beginning in 1931".-wikipedia. unknown

1932ref. 14372Los Angeles: Clason Map Co. 1932. 710 by 554mm. 28 by 21.75 inches. Folding lithographed map and text printed on recto and verso of a single sheet. A tourist's map and guide to the 1932 Los Angeles Olympic games. Los Angeles was the host city for the tenth Olympic games held from July 30th to August 14th 1932. Due to the Great Depression the LA Olympics were held on a shoestring budget. This unfortunate fact as well as California's relative remoteness caused these games to have the lowest athlete participation since 1904. Despite these hurdles the standard of competition at the games was excellent and it was an extremely innovative Olympics. For example the duration of the games was shortened from over 79 days to only 16 days the male athletes were all housed together in the first ever Olympic Village the podium was used during medal ceremonies for the first time there was record attendance and it was the first time that the Olympics had actually been profitable for its host city. As a result of these games Los Angeles became internationally known for the first time for reasons other than Hollywood's film industry thereby cementing its longstanding reputation as America's major West-Coast city. As a result of the Great Depression Los Angeles was forced to use mostly preexisting stadiums for the events though they changed their names temporarily and in some cases modified or renovated them. The only newly built stadium was the Coliseum here called the Los Angeles Olympic Stadium which astounded visitors with its immense size. This pamphlet intended for use by visitors to the games includes a detailed map of the city as well as information about the history of Los Angeles its landmarks museums parks stadiums public transportation and of course the times venues and ticket prices for all the Olympic events. We can only trace two examples in institutional collections U.C. Berkley Stanford and one example to have appeared at auction. Clason Map Co., unknown
