Wars of the Roses (air race) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Wars of the Roses (air race) The Wars of the Roses was an air race organized by the Yorkshire Evening News between the Yorkshire-built Blackburn Type I monoplane and the Lancashire-built Avro 504 biplane which was staged around Leeds on 2 October 1913. == The challenge == In the summer of 1913 the Lancashire firm of A. V. Roe designed an advanced biplane called the Avro 504. The machine was built in secret and entered into the Aerial Derby, causing a sensation when it arrived at Hendon for the race on 20 September. Piloted by F. P. Raynham, the untried 504 finished fourth in the Derby only two days after its maiden flight. Following the Derby, Yorkshire's Blackburn Aeroplane and Motor Co. Ltd. challenged Avro to a race between the 504 and the Blackburn Type I, a monoplane which had itself only made its first flight on 14 August 1913. Avro accepted the challenge and on 29 September Raynham flew the 504 from Brooklands to Leeds in preparation for the race.〔
