High Speed Flight RAF : ウィキペディア英語版 | High Speed Flight RAF
The RAF High Speed Flight, sometimes known as '' 'The Flight' '', was a small flight of the Royal Air Force (RAF) formed for the purpose of competing in the Schneider Trophy contest for racing seaplanes during the 1920s. The Flight was together only until the Trophy was won outright, after which it was disbanded. ==Background== In the Schneider Trophy race of 1926 both competing countries, Italy and the USA, had used military pilots. There had not been time to arrange a British team to compete. The British defeat of 1925 was held to be the result of technical inferiority and lack of organisation.〔("Supermarine S.5: 1927 Schneider Trophy - Venice, Italy." ) ''Racing Campbells.'' Retrieved: 21 April 2012.〕 The Air Ministry therefore agreed to support a British team, with pilots drawn from the RAF, and so the High Speed Flight was formed at the Marine Aircraft Experimental Establishment Felixstowe in preparation for the 1927 race.〔("Schneider Trophy: The 1927 Race." ) ''RAF History website.''
