Summary

edit
Description The Verville-Packard R-1 Racer was a military racing aircraft that was modified from Alfred Verville's previous Verville VCP-1 design. The R-1 is sometimes known also as the Verville-Packard VCP-R or the Verville-Packard 600. The R-1 was the first racing aircraft built for the United States Army Air Corps. The VCP-R was damaged on 2 August 1920, after colliding on landing with an automobile that had been timing its speed tests at Wright Field (now Patterson Field area of Wright-Patterson Air Force Base). Pilot Schroeder broke his goggles in this accident but was not seriously injured. On 27 November 1920, Capt. Corliss Moseley, flying the R-1 racer, out of 24 track finishers, won the Pulitzer Trophy Race at Mitchel Field, New York (USA). The top speed was 251.93 km/h.
