Scope and Contents

Letter from Spenser Grey (3 Clifford Street, [London]) to WSC reporting that he has been ill and that the aircraft he was to have flown in an air race at Croydon [Surrey] was crashed in the previous race. Mentions the aviation experiments in Germany and argues that aviation in Britain should be encouraged by prominent men, such as Frederick Guest, the Prince of Wales [later King Edward VIII] and the Duke of York [later King George VI], entering aircraft for air races and therefore asks WSC to enter him for the handicap race around England.
