September's Corsair's: The Thompson Trophy Races, 1946-1949
DescriptionFollowing the outbreak of another world war in September 1939 the National Air Races, including its showpiece Thompson Trophy race, were suspended for the duration of the war. In September 1946 the National Air Races were back, now under the leadership of the Cleveland Air Foundation. The Thompson Trophy races, however, were changed from those of the pre-war era. Gone were the racers built by private aircraft corporations or made by designer pilot craftsmen. In their places were war surplus fighter planes stripped of their armaments and modified for even more horsepower. The modified Corsairs, Air Cobras, Mustangs and Lightnings were flown almost exclusively by a younger generation of pilots groomed by wartime training and experience. With no limits and few rules, the post war Thompson Trophy races portended for those who sat in a brand new purpose-built grandstand even greater thrilling aerial spectacles than those witnessed seven years before. Each copy of September’s Corsairs is composed of the following: • 17x pilot cards Please note that September' Eagles is required to play September's Corsairs. -description from designer Game DiscussionsAdd CommentYou need to be logged in to comment.
