The first racing pilots
This is an alphabetic list of the pilots that were
officially entered and brought a reasonably flyable
aircraft to one the meetings covered on this site. If you
have researched any of the pilots and have material to
share you are very welcome!
A red "on vole" pennant to the left of the name
indicates that there is a link to a biography, either
produced by us or by Wikipedia (in English, or if not
available, in German, French or the native language of
the pilot). We welcome further input to these
biographies.
