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
198026731Washington DC: U. S. Government Printing Office 1980. Presumed First Edition First printing. Wraps. good. 24 cm. viii 233 3 pages. Wraps. Minor page discoloration. Minor wear to covers. The Indochina refugee crisis was the large outflow of people from the former French colonies of Indochina comprising the countries of Vietnam Cambodia and Laos after communist governments were established in 1975. Over the next 25 years and out of a total Indochinese population in 1975 of 56 million more than 3 million people would undertake the dangerous journey to become refugees in other countries of Southeast Asia Hong Kong or China. According to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees 250000 Vietnamese refugees had perished at sea by July 1986. More than 2.5 million Indochinese were resettled mostly in North America Australia and Europe. More than 525000 were repatriated either voluntarily or involuntarily mainly from Cambodia. The Indochinese refugees consisted of a number of different peoples including the Vietnamese the Sino-Vietnamese Hoa Cambodians fleeing the Khmer Rouge and hunger ethnic Laotians Iu Mien Hmong other highland peoples of Laos and Montagnard the highland peoples of Vietnam. They fled to nearby countries to seek temporary asylum and most requested permanent resettlement in third countries. The refugee outflow and humanitarian crisis was especially acute in 1979 and 1980. The six hearings printed in this volume focus on Indochina and the chain of events beginning with the Vietnamese invasion of Cambodia in December 1978 and extending through the United Nations Conference on Cambodia in November 1979 and the subsequent international relief effort for the people of Cambodia. The hearings were arranged chronologically and appear under the subject headings: "SIno-Vietnamese Conflict" "Indochina Refugees" and "Famine in Cambodia". These hearings and the ensuing legislative activity represent in part the response of the Congress to the events of the previous year in Indochina. U. S. Government Printing Office paperback
