This image of the tail of the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum's 1931 midget racing plane, Buster, was taken by Air and Space Museum photographer Carolyn Russo and will appear in the 2007 exhibition "In Plane View: Abstractions of Flight." Buster, a home-built midwing monoplane, was owned by racing pilot Steve Wittman. From 1931 until his retirement in 1954, the Buster set records and took numerous trophies in class races and free-for-alls, including two wins in the Goodyear Trophy Races.
