Beginning in 1929 with biplanes, the Granvilles soon turned to construction of low-wing sport aircraft, with a sideline excursion into canard experimental machines.\u00c2\u00a0 Competition types were the next step, and as the result of early successes, work began during early spring of 1932 on the R-1 and R-2 racers, which were structurally quite similar, and the R-1 was ready by August!\u00c2\u00a0 A Pratt &amp; Whitney Wasp Sr. engine of approximately 800 horsepower, and targeted for the closed loop course racing, powered the R-1. Although Broadman was scheduled to pilot the R-1 in the National Air Races, he was injured in another aircraft, and temporarily put out of action.\u00c2\u00a0 Thus, Jimmy Doolittle took over, and proceeded to capture the worlds speed record, with an average of 296.287 miles per hour.\u00c2\u00a0 Soon afterward, he won the Thompson Trophy Race over a closed course.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><b>For the Modeler:<\/b> This is the Lindberg Gee Bee Air Racer in 1:32 Scale, Model Kit #70561.
