Title: Future Fame #2611 - a young James "Jimmy" Doolittle driving a REO
Post by: Otto Puzzell on February 07, 2015, 08:04:50 AM

For one point: who is driving what car here?

Only a correct, complete and specific answer will earn a point; tag-on's to other guesses will not. So, be specific and complete!

Was the driver's future fame automobile-related?

His main claim to fame was related to other fast motorized transport.
