1931 LAIRD SUPER SOLUTION

Sky's the Limit

On September 4, 1931, the Laird "Super Solution" roared into the early-morning darkness to make its mark in aviation history. Awarded the first Bendix Trophy for the race from Los Angeles to Cleveland, Jimmy Doolittle continued piloting the craft to Newark, N.J., and set a new transcontinental speed record on the same day.

A perfect blend of form and function, E. M.

"Mattie" Laird's Super Solution was a stunning addition to an era of purpose-built racers and the celebration of speed.
