Mechanical base is fairly easy, but who's the driver of this racing special? One point is waiting for you!

I assumed it was America. Is the driver a famous WW1 pilot?

When I look for information, everything is about Eddie Rickenbacker. I think you can safely say he's well-known.

The only other name so far is Caleb Bragg. Is it him?

not Rickenbacker or Bragg. Then let's say he was just famous in his neck of the woods

The 'net lists 36 US pilots in that certain squadron. This could take a long time.
