    This is the Dayton-Wright RB-1 Racer, built to compete in the 1920 Gordon Bennett Cup (like the Verville-Packard R-1 Racer also in the most recent posting of Bain photos). It is still extant as an exhibit at the Henry Ford Museum. See: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dayton-Wright_Racer
  • Art Siegel said:
    "Dismantled and shipped to France, the RB-1 was flown by Howard Rinehart in the 28 September 1920 race, but was forced to withdraw after a cable failure prevented full retraction of the gear/flap mechanism,"

Dayton-Wright "Gordon Bennett" racer (LOC)

  • Art Siegel said:
    1920's tournament in France was the final Gordon Bennett Aviation Trophy race, a competition that was held six times, and began in 1909.
    "The Gordon Bennett Aviation Trophy was an international airplane racing trophy awarded by James Gordon Bennett Jr., the American owner and publisher of the New York Herald newspaper. The trophy is one of three Gordon Bennett awards: Bennett was also the sponsor of an automobile race and a ballooning competition."
    The pictured plane competed, but did not finish the race.

    Pretty obviously retouched--perhaps he was photographed in his previous team's uniform? The visor of his cap looks to be original, judging from the shadow it casts.
  • Jason McELweenie said:
    @splaestro this photo was not retouched. It was taken in a era when real life and the illustrated one collided. It is best evidenced by a certain period piece by the name of "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?" In this documentary the two worlds collide for what some call 'High Hilarity'
  • splaestro said:
    @deneyterrio: Wow, that's deep.

    I believe the photo was taken when he played New Bedford (New England) team. Before being traded to Detroit.
