Bill won the Goodyear Trophy in 1947 piloting Steve Wittman’s racer, “Buster” in his first-ever air race, beating his heros including legendary racer Tony Levier. Another Sonex personality, builder Jim Cunningham, has written the biography on Bill Brenannd, “Bill Brennand: Air Racing and Other Aerial Adventures.” Read Jim’s interview about Bill with AOPA after Brennand’s passing in 2017.
Buster now hangs in the Smithsonian Air & Space Museum’s Udvar-Hazy Center.
