The awarding of the 1928 National Air Races to Los Angeles proved to be a deciding factor leading to the city’s selection of Mines Field as its future airport, Air races were immensely popular in the early years of aviation, and Mines pushed hard to get the 1928 races for Mines Field. - blogs.dailybreeze.com
