EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph from 1933, the dashing figure of Whitney Straight, an American-born racing driver, aviator, and businessman, is seen standing next to his motor racing car. Straight's intense focus and determination are palpable as he gazes intently at the machine that would carry him to victory on the race track. Born in 1912, Straight's passion for speed and adventure began at a young age. He started his racing career in the late 1920s and quickly rose through the ranks, competing in various motor racing events across Europe and North America. By the early 1930s, he had established himself as a formidable racer, known for his daring driving style and unwavering commitment to pushing the limits of technology. But Straight's interests extended beyond the race track. He was also an accomplished aviator, holding a pilot's license and regularly participating in air races. In addition, he was a successful businessman, co-founding the Straight-Haas Racing Team with fellow racing driver Rudolf Caracciola. In this photograph, Straight is seen wearing the iconic red and white racing overalls of the Straight-Haas team. The sleek lines and powerful presence of his racing car, with its distinctive red and white livery, reflect the cutting-edge technology of the 1930s motor racing scene. The photograph captures a moment of excitement and anticipation, as Straight prepares to take to the track and test his mettle against the best racers of the era. This image is a captivating reminder of the thrill and adventure of motor racing in the 1930s, and the enduring legacy of a remarkable figure like Whitney Straight.
