Harold Neumann (L) & Benny Howard, 1935
 |
Harold Neumann landed solo at Tucson on August 20, 1931
flying Travel Air NC5237. Based in Moline, IL he was westbound
from El Paso, TX to Santa
Monica, CA.
A written interview from 1985 with Neumann, as well as a
small contemporary image, is available at this link.
There you will find his impressions of his early flying and
his successes in air racing, especially the 1935 National
Air Races.
Image, right, from Neumann's NASM dossier, is annotated,
"Left, Harold Neuman [sic] 1935 TTR Winner".
The
person to the right of Neumann is Benny Howard who built
the aircraft that Neumann made famous. Among them
Howard DGA-4, 5, and 6, "Mike", "Ike", and "Mr. Mulligan".
Thanks to Russ Plehinger (REFERENCES)
for identifying Benny Howard.
Below, an undated image of Harold Neumann courtesy of Tim Kalina. While the details of his helmet and goggles look to be the same, this image is probably earlier than 1935.
