Originally known as the “Powder Puff Derby” it was an air race started by many of the prominent female pilots of the time, including Amelia Earhart, to provide a racing venue for female pilots when male-dominated air races barred them entry. It was originally just a one-time thing in 1929, but after WWII it became a semi-regular racing event until !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! put a stop to it. However, a new organized series of women-centric air races simply known as the Air Race Classic was organized immediately afterwards that continues to this day.
