  • The Reims Air Races
    Reims Air races and the Gordon Bennett Trophy Bleriot's cross-Channel flight excited Europe as nothing else had. The City of Reims and the French vintners of the Champagne region decided to sponsor a week of aviation exhibition and competition, putting up large purses in prize money, the most prestigious being the International Aviation Cup, known as the Gordon Bennett Trophy, after its sponsor, James Gordon Bennett, the flamboyant American publisher of the New York Herald and the Paris Herald. The meet attracted the cream of European society, from royalty and generals to ambassadors and the merely wealthy, to the Betheny Plain outside Reims from August 22 to 29, 1909. While there were to be many other such meets before and after World War 1, none would match Reims for grandeur and elegance or for sheer excitement. The major European manufacturers, all French, entered various events. There were 'planes by Bleriot, Voisin, Antoinette, and Farman, and even several French-built Wrights. The Wrights themselves had passed on an invitation to race at Reims, which was awkward since the Gordon Bennett Trophy was crowned with a large replica of a Wright Flyer. The Aero Club of America, which had sponsored the Scientific American trophy won by Curtiss a year earlier, turned to Curtiss. Curtiss' June Bug was not as well developed a plane as the Wright machines (and possibly the Wrights were hoping to drive this point home if Curtiss failed at Reims) and while it was more maneuverable than the European planes, it was not nearly as fast. 1909 Voisin 1 Curtiss worked feverishly to produce a more powerful engine and stripped down his airplane to give it greater speed.

Louisiana Gov. Huey Long, who gloried in the nickname “the Kingfish,” proclaimed “Every man a king!” until he was assassi- nated. Gerald L.K. Smith led the isolationist America First Party. The elderly rallied behind Dr. Francis Townsend’s Townsend Plan to pay them $200 a month so they could spend the nation into prosperity. From Detroit, Father Charles Coughlin, “the radio priest,” assailed bankers and Jews until his bishop silenced him. The school superintendent of Gary, Ind., de- clared that he had been offered $1 million to lead a Communist plot to seize the govern- ment. In San Diego, a fascist group calling it- self the Silver Shirts planned to attack the Communist May Day Parade, then seize City Hall and “liquidate” a Jewish deputy sheriff. On Oct. 28, about 150 Communists stormed the doors of Cleveland City Hall during a City Council meeting in an effort to present de- mands for greater relief for the poor.
