The company Schneider that sponsored the air races had a deal at the air show that preceded it, a guy would jump out of a plane and freefall as low as he could and pull his chute at the last moment before hitting the ground.
Crazy shit.
One thing I would have loved to have seen in my lifetime, the Schneider Air Races.
How rad is that artwork?
Being an illustrator/artist, who worked in aerospace, I totally dig the old illustrated ads. Keep them coming
