Harolds Club Transcontinental Trophy Dash information?

[Chappie]

I"m looking for information and photos of the pilots and aircraft that participated in the this cross-country race that took place in the late 60s and early 70s. I don't have much in my library on these races and internet searches have yielded next to nothing.

Any suggestions?

Racing Planes and Air Races by Reed Kinert, number IV-VII.

[The Inspector]

Wasn't there quite a post about this subject here on WIX about 6 years ago including several INSTAMATIC color pix?

Just ordered Reed Kinert books from AbeBooks.com. Two bound books covering Volumes I-VIII (1909-1967 and 1968-1971).

That should cover it (and more) quite nicely!!!

Birch Matthews put out a book in the early 90's called Wet Wings & Drop Tanks. It's the difinitive story about the Bendix races in the 30's and 40's, as well as the Harold's Club Trans-con races at Reno from '64-70. Lots of in-depth stories as well as plenty of color and b&w photos.

I've seen that book, but have not picked it up yet. My Reed Kinert books came today- Volumes I- XIII in two large bound volumes 111 pages each.......got them both for $30!
