Roy Liggett posing with the Cessna CR-2 racer. The CR-2 was modified from the CR-1 which was too difficult to fly. Here at the 1933 Miami air races, Liggett won the Colonel Green Cup in the 500 cubic inch race according to Wikipedia. The Warner Scarab engine fitted was 499 cubic inch. The aircraft crashed later that year. Photo by: Gleason Waite Romer / Miami-Dade Public Library This photo was added on 19 June 2022, and has since been viewed 520 times. |
