| This large soft-bound book has more than three hundred pictures and almost 60,000 words. It tells a very humanistic story about the five Granville brothers, the young men who built Gee Bee airplanes during "The Golden Age of Aviation." The author not only proclaims her family's triumphs but reveals their heart-breaks. It informs about many of their contributions to aviation: breakaway landing gears, dual releasable controls, shock absorbers, split flaps, and the 1932 world's speed record set by Jimmy Doolittle. The book is available only by mail order at the address below. | ||||||

Gee Bee Racer Book Description
Click Here's the inside story of the creation of the Gee Bee R-2 replica, written

and other air shows. Packed with original
color photography.

Revised and updated to cover the entire line of Granville Brothers projects, including all models of their sport and racing planes. Offers a discussion of the aerodynamic knowledge of the 1930s, versus the Gee Bee replica flown in 1994 in aerobatic demonstrations. |
