This vibrant poster invites you to join the excitement of the era's most daring aviators as they push the limits of speed and innovation. The poster's bold design features a sleek blue and yellow biplane soaring through the sky, its propeller a blur of motion against the backdrop of a towering, cloud-specked horizon. The plane's pilot, clad in goggles and leather flying helmet, looks determinedly ahead, as if ready to break the sound barrier. Beneath the image, the poster's text beckons, "200 Miles Per Hour! The International Air Races, St. Louis, October 1-3, 1923."

The poster's tagline, "America's Greatest Aero Congress and Exhibition," underscores the importance of the event in advancing the field of aviation and inspiring a new generation of pilots and engineers.
