EDITORS COMMENTS
The Verville-Packard R-1 AS. 40126 42, captured in this stunning print from the 1920 Pulitzer air race, is a true testament to the innovation and engineering prowess of early aviation. Originally modified from an Engineering Division VCP-1, this racing aircraft was powered by a formidable 638hp Packard 1A-2025 water-cooled V-12 engine - a powerhouse that earned it the re-designation as the R-1 in 1922.
In this image, we see the sleek lines and powerful presence of the Verville-Packard as it takes to the skies with grace and speed. The adrenaline-pumping excitement of air racing is palpable in every detail of this historic moment frozen in time.
As one of the pioneering aircraft of its era, the Verville-Packard represents a golden age of flight when daring pilots pushed boundaries and tested limits to achieve greatness in aviation. Its legacy lives on through images like these that capture not just a machine, but a spirit of adventure and exploration that continues to inspire us today.
This print from The Peter Butt Aviation Collection is more than just a snapshot - it's a window into history, inviting us to marvel at how far we've come while never forgetting where we started.
