Golden Age of Air Racing Photo Index (refresh if blank)

This index was compiled based on the photographs appearing in The Golden Age of Air Racing book published by the Experimental Aircraft Association. There are over 830 separate entries in this index.

Each photograph has been studied and information recorded into the table under six separate headings: Page, Year, Plane, Number, License, Notes. “Page” refers to the page on which the photograph appears. “Year” indicates the year the photograph was taken. In almost every instance, this is as reported by the book. “Plane” is the make and model of the aircraft, as documented by the E.A.A. “Number” refers to the racing number as seen in the photograph. “License” also refers to the license number as seen in the photograph. Please note that sometimes the same aircraft would have different license numbers during its lifetime. Finally, “Notes” are observations and distinguishing characteristics of the plane in the photograph. It will, at times, also refer to the number of photographs of the same plane on the same page.

In this web version, you can sort on any column. Simply click once on the column title to sort on that column. The table is initially sorted by page, so if you want to know what plane is in a photo on page 90, simply scroll down to page 90 and see what the plane is. If you want to find all of the images in the entire book for a specific plane, click the PLANE title once and the table will be sorted by plane. Scroll down to the plane you want and find all of the images in the book.

I started this project while doing research about various race planes and thought that if there were an index of photographs, it would save a lot of time during research and also save wear and tear on the book itself. I hope you enjoy the Index.
