| Post subject: | Thompson Trophy Air Races 1936 |
Hello WIXERS, I'm trying to find details about the Thompson Trophy Air Races which took place in 1936. I'm actually looking for a list of the aircraft flown that year. Google didn't turn up with a definitive list. Does anyone know where I can find details (website, books and photos...)? Thanks for your help! Ben |

Hello Rob, Thanks for your infos. I'm now looking for photos of Francisco Sarabia Gee Bee XB-AKM. The aircraft is currently preserved in Ciudad Lerdo, Mexico. 
I would need also if possible details about the time it was used during the Thompson Trophy Air Races in 1936. It was painted in green from what I understand. Any additional infos or photographs will be welcome  .
Regards, Ben |

Just FYI, there is a full-scale, flying replica of one of these being constructed in my neck of the woods (Seattle area). Bela P. Havasreti |

Bela, I had tried to track down an email for the builder of the QED but was unsuccessful. Any idea how to contact him? We can PM the details. |

Ben, every so often there is a listing on e-bay for the Reed Kinert Series on air racing. One was just up with the item # 6636883557. It wasn't the full set, but sometimes a period volume comes up by itself. Keep your eyes open, they are an excellent reference! |
