Uncle Sam's
Fighters of the Sky
in Review

The traditionally outstanding feature of the 1936 National Air Races is the daily exhibition of precise and intricate combat maneuvers by Military and Naval Fighting Squadrons.
Always thrilling to spectators, Uncle Sam's fighters of the air give a spectacular and breath-taking presentation of the newest developments in precision flight...surpassingly beautiful formations that will stir your patriotic blood and unfold the skill and advancement of your national defense units.
The United States Army Corps participation consists of eighteen Northrup attack planes from March Field and five pursuit planes from Barksdale Field, Shreveport, Louisiana. The Navy is participating with eighteen Wasp-powered Grauman fighters and twelve Wasp-powered Vought Corsairs from San Diego.
Both divisions of the service traditionally send their ace squadrons to the National Air Races.
Nothing is more inspiring than to see these fearless conquerors of the air demonstrating their modern tactics. In their newest fighting craft, Uncle Sam's brilliant pilots glorify the 16th National Air Races with their presence.
Pictured here are aerial views of Navy's VF Squadron Three B, Marine Corps Observation Squadrons in difficult and colorful maneuvers.
