Lindbergh, whom he was instrumental in rescuing from Le Bourget crowds after the New York-Paris flight in 1927, Detroyat is France's best stunt flyer, has twice almost killed himself in crashes. Last week, flying a tiny blue Caudron-Renault in which he set the world's onetime land-plane speed record of 312 m.p.h., he walked off with the preliminary Greve Trophy Race. This victory made Detroyat the overwhelming favorite, though no foreign flyer hadwever...
