National Air Tour comes to Knoxville's McGhee Tyson. Biggest aviation event since airport opening.
National Air Tour Due Here. Crack Fliers, Ships Visit Knoxville on July 9. Stop Overnight. Land at Muny Port, Knoxville Journal, June 23, 1931, Approximately 40 airplanes participating in the National Air Tour which will start from Detroit July 4, will land at McGhee Tyson municipal airport for an overnight stop on July 9, instead of July 7, as reported yesterday. This announcement was received Monday by Walter Self, manager of McGhee Tyson airport, in a telegram from Ray Collins, of Detroit, manager of the National Air tour. Mr. Self had been negotiating with Mr. Collins for some time regarding the tour. First Time Knoxville has not been on the itinerary of the National Air tour in previous years. Scheduling of an over-night stop means that Knoxville will be visited by the nation's outstanding airmen and the newest creations in aircraft. Among the notables in the tour party will be: Jimmy Doolittle, former crack army pilot; Frank Hawks, America's aerial speed demon; Walter Lees, endurance flier; Eddie Schneider, sensational 19-year-old pilot; Lee Gehlbach, winner of the All-American air derby last year; Lowell Bayles, second place winner in the air derby; Mrs. Mae Haizlip, outstanding woman pilot; and George Halderman, trans-Atlantic flier. The visit of this tour to Knoxville will give this city nation wide attention and publicity. In view of the fact that the planes will be at the municipal airport overnight, the various news-gathering organizations will send out their official reports from Knoxville on the progress of the tour. City Manager George Dempster asked the young Men's Division of the Chamber of Commerce yesterday to take charge of the arrangements as to such matters as reception, entertainment, publicity, etc. Charles T. King, chairman of the Young Men's Division, accepted, and at the same time asked for the assistance of the aviation committee of the senior Chamber. A joint meeting with the Young Men's committee will be held Wednesday at 11 a.m. Tour Itinerary Leaving Detroit, the tour will journey through Canada to New York state and then southward through Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia, Kentucky, and then into Tennessee. Touring westward, the planes will go as far as Texas and then move into the central states. The planes will compete for the Edsel B. Ford reliability trophy and the Great Lakes trophy. The main purpose of the tour is to test the reliability of the various kinds of planes in cross-country flying. Frank Hawks is now in Europe, but he will return in time to take part in the tour. Jimmy Doolittle is the tour's referee, and Walter Lees is the chief timer. E. W. "Pop" Cleveland, a veteran of the aviation industry, is the chief starter.

Air tourists fly Eastward. Will Turn South After Stop In Binghamton, N.Y., Tonight
The second day of the 1931 National Air Tour for the Edsel Ford Trophy today, was to find the 14 competing planes and a dozen accompanying planes en route from Le Roy, N.Y., to Binghamton, N.Y. From Binghamton, the tour is to fly south and west as far as San Antonio, Tex., returning to Ford Airport July 25. A holiday crowd of about 5,000 persons witnessed the start of the tour from the Ford Airport Saturday morning. Col. Clarence M. Young, assistant Secretary of Commerce for Aeronautics, came from Cleveland to witness the start. Fifteen Army planes from Selfridge Field stunted over the field just before the takeoff and accompanied the tour planes as far as Walker Airport, Walkerville, Ont. At Walker Airport, where the tour planes stopped for a long luncheon hour, they joined the large number of planes participating in the Trans-Canada Air Pageant there. Most of the racers got off to a bad start from Ford Airport. Only flying a Mercury Chic, Capt. William Lancaster, flying a Bird and Eddie Schneider, flying a Cessna, got away on time. Leonard Flo, flying a Bird cabin plane, was delayed more than a half hour when he broke a tail skid just before the takeoff and the two Ford entries were 15 minutes late. The racers were timed from the minute they were supposed to take off. Other entries are Charles F. Sugg, Capt. Walter Henderson and Jack Story, flying Buhl entries; James H. Smart and Harry Russell, flying Ford trimotors; Joseph Meehan, flying a Great Lakes; Lowell Bayles, flying a Gee Bee; Eddie Stinson, flying a Stinson and George Dickson, flying an Aeronca. Among the well-known pilots flying accompanying planes are Maj. James H. Doolittle, referee of the tour, who is accompanied by Mrs. Doolittle and Mrs. Ray W. Brown, wife of the assistant tour starter; Capt. Lewis A. Yancey, who flew with Roger Q. Willliams across the Atlantic in 1928, who is piloting an autogiro in the tour; Walter E. Lees, Detroit pilot who holds the world's non-refueling endurance record, and George Haldeman, who attempted to fly the Atlantic with Ruth Elder. Maj. Thomas G. Lanphier, former commandant at Selfridge Field, is accompanying the tour as far as Binghamton as a passenger. Night stops after tonight will be as follows: Monday, Bradford, Pa,; Tuesday, Wheeling, W. Va.; Wednesday, Huntington, W. Va.; Thursday, Knoxviille, Tenn.; Friday, Memphis; Saturday, Birmingham, Ala.; July 12, Montgomery, Ala.; July 13, New Orleans; July 14, Shreveport, La.; July 15, Houston, Tex.; July 16, San Antonio; July 17 and 18, Fort Worth, Tex.; July 19, Ponca City, Okla.; July 20, Kansas City; July 21, Lincoln, Neb.; July 22, Omaha; July 23, Davenport, Ia.; July 24, Kalamazoo; July 25, Detroit. The tour will cover more than 6,000 miles, visiting 18 states. The Ford Trophy will go to the pilot whose plane performs most efficiently, as judged by the scoring formula, over the entire distance. A separate trophy, the Great Lakes Light Plane Trophy, will go to the pilot of the plane of less than 510 cubic inches engine displacement which makes the best score.
