Clipped-Winged Fighter Readied For Thompson Races -- Major Charles (Chuck) Tucker looks at his former army King Cobra fighter plane which was eight feet clipped of each wing which he plans to enter in the Thompson Trophy race of the coming national air races at Cleveland, Ohio, August 30. Altered to increase its speed, Major Tucker estimates the speed of this ship, which was only a 25 foot wing spread, as approaching 600 M.P.H. August 17, 1946. (Photo by AP Wirephoto).
