Dole Air Race (1927)
Correspondence
Note:
Antone M. Golemac was born in 1916 and as an eleven-year-old in the Midwest witnessed an airplane taking off to participate
in the Dole Air Race from Oakland to Honolulu. Golemac subsequently did extensive research on the race but his findings appear
to have not been published.
The Dole Air Race, inspired by Charles A. Lindbergh's Transatlantic flight earlier the same year, was financed by Hawaiian
pineapple magnate James D. Dole, who put up a prize of $25,000.00 for the first fixed-wing aircraft to fly from Oakland to
Honolulu, with $10,000.00 allotted to the second-place winner. By the time the race began on August 16, 1927 the contestants
had diminished to eight aircraft, of which only four were actually able to leave California for Hawaii. Of those, only two
arrived in Honolulu. Among the fliers lost at sea was Mildred Doran, a Caro, Michigan schoolteacher.
