The background includes a racecourse and stand which suggests the racecourse at Rheims where the meet was held. Most of the aircrafts (and hot air balloons) depicted are known to have flown at this event and competed for prizes donated by the Champagne industry. #aviation #airplane #aeronautical #ERAU
