<p>[QUOTE="LSM, post: 346973, member: 5859"]Here's a 1929 Cleveland, Ohio air show souvenir. The 1929 air show was a big event back in those days with a 100 float parade to start the show. Movie stars and dignitaries attended and the news media from around the world was also present. Commander Hugo Eckner of the Graff Zeppelin was there. Charles Lindbergh flew at the event and Amelia Earhart raced in the womans competition for a share of the $25,000.00 prize money for the ladies race. In all there where 35 racing events and exceptions by the Navy High Hats, a formation team that flew with planes tied together by one inch ropes from wing struts to wing struts (lets see the Blue Angels do that)<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. There was a total of six pilots that lost their lives as a result of this event.</p><p>If anyone has any info on this token please share.</p><p> </p><p>Lou[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
