NO remainder marks. [From Introduction] THE GEE BEE RACERS were fast, colorful, and cursed with the most outrageous bad luck imaginable. They were also much, much more. Until their remarkable but brief time span in aviation history, no other aircraft ever made such daring contributions to the advancement of speed, to the amazement of thousands, and to the excitement and adventure of American ingenuity in full bloom. At the time the Gee Bee series was begun, not thirty years had passed since the stick and wire Wright Flyer had taken to the air for a one-hundred-twenty-foot flight across the windswept dunes of Kitty Hawk. Any invention of a transportation device soon results in a race, and the airplane was no different. By 1909, less than six years after the first successful heavier-than-air flight, an international speed contest was held at Rheims, France. Glenn Curtiss took over the meet with his Golden Flyer fluttering along at a little over forty-six miles per hour and emerged an international celebrity.
