1923 Schneider Trophy

The Schneider Trophy race took place in England on September 28th, 1923, specifically in Cowes. The commencement and culmination of the 186-mile route were situated within the town, with designated turning points at Selsey Bill and Southsea.

Teams from Great Britain, France, Italy, and the United States of America were all participants in the competition. France deployed a total of six aircraft during the specified period. This consisted of two aircraft manufactured by Soc. Industrielle de Caudebec-en-Caux (Latham), two by C.A.M.S., and two by Soc. Aeronautique Blanchard. Great Britain participated in the competition with three aircraft, namely a Supermarine Napier flying-boat, a Blackburn flying-boat, and a Sopwith-Hawker (which unfortunately crashed few weeks prior to the event). The United States dispatched a total of four machines, with one held in reserve, while Italy regrettably withdrew from the competition many weeks prior.
