Abstract: The quarter-century following World War I yielded more engineering improvements than just about any other period in aviation history. The period between the end of World War I and entry of the U.S. into World War II has been described as The Golden Age of Flight. It was during this period, too, that the major air trophy races took center stage. The Schneider Trophy Race was the first of the Golden Ages contests. Around 1917, mechanically controlled variable pitch propellers were under development in Great Britain and Germany. These propellers solved the problem of changing the engine thrust without having to change the engine power and speed of the propeller.
