	Dictionary : National Air Races
		The National Air Races were a series of air races and other aerial events that took place mainly during the 1930s and 1940s, although national air races were held on a smaller scale as early as 1920.
		Air events were added during the decade and the venue for the races moved around the country until 1929, when the expanded event was first held in Cleveland, where it remained through 1949, except for two years when it took place in California.
		When the races resumed after World War II, they featured surplus military planes that greatly outclassed the planes that had been used before the war, and the records that were set demonstrated their increased capabilities.

		Two days before the air race was scheduled to begin, federal troops occupied Gary, Indiana, in an effort to quell mounting violence in the steel town.
		A majority of contestants had yet to complete the one-way crossing, and the race already had claimed five lives (seven, if the deaths of two fliers en route to the starting point were counted) and produced numerous injuries.
		The race certainly demonstrated that the aircraft of 1919 were far from reliable and that endurance was more human than mechanical.
