Between 1929 and 1949, except for a hiatus during World War II, Cleveland hosted the National Air Races, an extraordinary spectacle meant to showcase new developments in aviation technology. In this program, hear stories of the different races that occurred, the bold and brave pilots who performed death-defying stunts, and the benefits for the city of Cleveland and its new municipal airport. Until planes grew too powerful to safely race over the densely populated areas of Northeast Ohio, the achievements of these yearly events reflected the quickly changing social and political realities of their time.
This program is intended for adults 18 years or older. We strictly adhere to our program age intentions. If you have any questions, please contact EPL.
Registration is required. Registration opens May 3rd.
