Unlimited Air Racers: The Complete History of Unlimited Class Air Racing, 1946 Thompson Trophy to 1991 Reno Gold
My first read about 'Unlimited Class' air racing. And not the last. Some like Formula 1, some like Nascar, I am sure that I like air racing involving 'warbirds extreme'. (Someone once said: Jets are for kids ;-)The author takes you through every year the book covers in a sports reporter style. Both in respect of the races them self and the tech acheivements. He also relates the history of the people behind. Maybe not in in-depth but he does it very well. I felt entertained and enlightened.
The book only covers the periode to 1991 so I guess the hunt is on for more, and more recent, books on the subject.
Take care
