Visit https://www.patreon.com/PeriscopeFilm Visit our website www.PeriscopeFilm.com Dating to September 2–5, 1939, this silent home movie shows the National Air Races in Cleveland, Ohio. Also known as Pulitzer Trophy Races, the NAR are a series of pylon and cross-country races that have taken place in the United States since 1920. The 1939 races were significant in that they were the last of the National Air Races to be held before World War II. This film was amateur shot and not that impressive technically, but it does show Col. Roscoe Turner receiving the Thompson Trophy at 2:05. The woman visible at 2:39 in the film is likely aviatrix Jackie Cochran. Another woman appears on the grandstand at 1:50.The film also shows the grandstands and flight line, and parachute jumps (5:15). Motion picture films don't last forever; many have already been lost or destroyed. For almost two decades, we've worked to collect, scan and preserve the world as it was captured on 35mm, 16mm and 8mm movies -- including home movies, industrial films, and other non-fiction. If you have endangered films you'd like to have scanned, or wish to donate celluloid to Periscope Film so that we can share them with the world, we'd love to hear from you.
