I really like this first one he sent from 1953. The Y-333 SHOOTING STAR is a cool boat, cool name, and even his helmet is painted nicely to go with his theme. The Program is kinda neat as it is New Martinsville&#8217;s 14th Annual race and they give a tip of the hat by noting A.P.B.A.&#8217;s 50th Anniversary on their cover.  I also added some other covers that folks have sent us (and a couple of ones we are borrowing from the www). It makes a really <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vintagehydroplanes.com\/Blog\/race-programs\/\">neat book<\/a> seeing all of them together. If you visit, they are arranged by years from oldest to newest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to see what&#8217;s behind those covers, TVH does go more in-depth on some of these Race Programs by scanning\/posting the contents an what&#8217;s inside on some of these official Race Programs.
