Abstract
THIS monograph describes the development of the British aircraft for the Schneider Trophy contest of 1931, the preparations for and the actual contest, also the successful attempts on the speed record afterwards. It is mainly concerned with the technical aspects, although a tribute is paid to the great skill of the pilots, without which the successes could not have been achieved.
