In the 1930s, the National Air Races were the biggest spectator sport around, drawing more than 100,000 to the annual event over the skies of Cleveland. And its biggest star may have been the sleek, silver Turner RT-14 Meteor, the only repeat Thompson Trophy winner, reaching maximum speeds of up to 300 mph before it was retired in 1939 after just 30 hours of flying time.
