1. und 2. Preisfliegen
Wiener Neustadt, Austria, July 10th - 31st, 1910


Unusually, it appears that during the first Wiener Neustadt meeting, race numbers were assigned to pilots rather than airplanes. Some machines carried numbers, but they were not always consistent with the pilots' numbers. For the second meeting the numbers were reportedly unchanged, but we don't know of any photos at all from that meeting. This list must therefore be regarded as provisional. If you have any information to add, in particular photos that were verifiably taken at the two meetings, please contact us!

This page is organized in the same way as corresponding pages for other meetings. Known numbered machines are presented first, in numerical order, and the others in alphabetical order of their manufacturers. Since it has been so difficult of find photos from the meetings, photos of some less known machines have been included, even if they are of uncertain origin. At the bottom of the page, you will find a list of the numbers assigned to the pilots at the first meeting.
