Европейское соревнование по полетам
Международный туристический конкурс 1930 года был вторым международным соревнованием по туристическим самолетам FAI, проходившим с 18 июля по 8 августа 1930 года в Берлине, Германия. Четыре конкурса, с 1929 по 1934 год, были крупными авиационными событиями в предвоенной Европе.
European flight competition
The International Touring Competition in 1930 was the second FAI international touring aircraft contest, that took place between July 18 and August 8, 1930 in Berlin, Germany. Four Challenges, from 1929 to 1934, were major aviation events in pre war Europe.
Обзор
Германия организовала соревнование, поскольку немецкий пилот Фриц Морзик выиграл предыдущее соревнование в 1929 году. Правила основывались на правилах FAI, но детали были проработаны Немецким аэроклубом. Международный спортивный комитет возглавлял немец Герд фон Хоеппнер. Заявки подали 98 экипажей, но в итоге в соревновании 1930 года приняли участие 60 самолетов из шести стран: Германии (30 экипажей), Польши (12 экипажей), Великобритании (7 экипажей), Франции (6 экипажей), Испании (3 экипажа) и Швейцарии (2 экипажа). В британской команде был один канадец, а во французской – один бельгиец. Это было первое крупное международное мероприятие, в котором приняла участие польская авиация, причем со второй по численности командой, оснащенной самолетами собственной разработки. В отличие от предыдущего соревнования, появились также специальные самолеты, лучше соответствующие требованиям "Challenge". Прежде всего, это были немецкие BFW M.23c и Klemm L 25E – новые варианты успешных машин 1929 года, деревянные низкопланы с закрытой кабиной, относящиеся к более легкому классу, но оснащенные мощными двигателями Argus, что давало им больше шансов на технических испытаниях. Все самолеты в соревновании имели фиксированное обычное шасси и не были оснащены механизацией крыла (предкрылками или закрылками). В соревновании участвовали BFW M.23c (10), BFW M.23b (1), Klemm L.25 (4), Klemm L.25E (3), Klemm L 26 (2), Klemm VL 25 (1), Junkers A50 (3), Arado L II (4), Albatros L 100 (1), Albatros L 101 (1), Darmstadt D 18 (1), de Havilland DH.60G Gipsy Moth (6), Avro Avian (1), Spartan Arrow (1), Monocoupe 110 (1), RWD 2 (3), RWD 4 (3), PZL.5 (2), PWS 50 (1), PWS 51 (1), PWS 52 (1), PWS 8 (1), Caudron C.193 (3), Caudron C.232 (1), Peyret Mauboussin PM XI (1), Saint Hubert G1 (1), Breda Ba.15S (1), CASA C 1 (1). (номера были нанесены в круг с надписью: Challenge International и 1930).
Germany organized the contest, because the German pilot Fritz Morzik won the previous contest in 1929. The regulation based upon the FAI rules, but details were worked out by the German Aero Club. The international Sports Committee was headed by the German Gerd von Hoeppner. 98 crews applied, but eventually 60 aircraft entered the Challenge in 1930, from six countries: Germany (30 crews), Poland (12 crews), United Kingdom (7 crews), France (6 crews), Spain (3 crews) and the Swiss (2 crews). In the British team there was one Canadian, and in the French team – one Belgian. It was the first major international event in which the Polish aviation took part, with second most numerous team in addition, equipped with own design aircraft. On contrary to a previous contest, there appeared also some special aircraft, better suited to meet the Challenge demands. First of all, they were German BFW M.23c and Klemm L 25E, being new variants of successful machines of 1929 – wooden low wing monoplanes with closed canopy, belonging to lighter category, yet fitted with powerful Argus engines, having better chance in technical trials. All aircraft in the contest had fixed conventional landing gear and had no wing mechanization (slats or flaps) yet. Aircraft participating were BFW M.23c (10), BFW M.23b (1), Klemm L.25 (4), Klemm L.25E (3), Klemm L 26 (2), Klemm VL 25 (1), Junkers A50 (3), Arado L II (4), Albatros L 100 (1), Albatros L 101 (1), Darmstadt D 18 (1), de Havilland DH.60G Gipsy Moth (6), Avro Avian (1), Spartan Arrow (1), Monocoupe 110 (1), RWD 2 (3), RWD 4 (3), PZL.5 (2), PWS 50 (1), PWS 51 (1), PWS 52 (1), PWS 8 (1), Caudron C.193 (3), Caudron C.232 (1), Peyret Mauboussin PM XI (1), Saint Hubert G1 (1), Breda Ba.15S (1), CASA C 1 (1). (numbers were painted in a circle, with inscription: Challenge International and 1930).
Путешествие по Европе
Конкурс 1930 года был единственным, в котором ралли являлось начальным этапом. Несмотря на попытки многих пилотов первыми вернуться на базу, это была не гонка, а скорее испытание на надежность. Регулярность полетов была наиболее важным фактором, вторым – крейсерская скорость (минимальная крейсерская скорость должна была составлять 80 км/ч для самолетов класса I или 60 км/ч для более легких самолетов класса II. Крейсерские скорости выше 175/155 км/ч соответственно не давали дополнительных очков). Изначальный срок возвращения в Берлин был установлен на 16:00 31 июля, но для некоторых экипажей он был продлен из-за плохой погоды в Пау. Помимо 75 очков за регулярность, до 195 очков можно было набрать за высокую крейсерскую скорость. 21 июля погода позволила летать только с полудня, но затем большинство экипажей перелетели через Ла-Манш, и 23 самым быстрым самолетам удалось вернуться во Францию. Три британских и три французских экипажа достигли Парижа в тот день, пролетев 843,5 км. Двенадцать самых быстрых экипажей благополучно добрались до Испании, поскольку 23 и 24 июля остальные экипажи были приземлены в Пау из-за неблагоприятных погодных условий над Пиренеями. Леди Бейли последней попыталась долететь до Сарагосы, но была вынуждена вернуться в Пау. В связи с запретом на полеты, за невыполнение дальнейшего перелета не предусматривались штрафы, а срок возвращения был продлен на 24 или 48 часов, в зависимости от времени прибытия экипажа в Пау. В этот день выбыли четыре экипажа, в том числе лучший польский пилот Францишек Жвирко на RWD 4 (из-за отказа двигателя), а также два немецких и единственный бельгийский экипаж Жака Мо (St. Hubert G.1). 27 июля первые пилоты финишировали в Берлине. Первым прибыл Хьюберт Брод, затем Сидни Торн, за ним Рейнольд Посс. В течение часа прибыли также Фриц Морцик, Морис Финат, принц Антонио де Габсбург-Борбон, Георг Пасевальдт, Х. Эндрюс и А. С. Батлер. В последние дни некоторые экипажи выбыли или были дисквалифицированы. Маршрут над Европой оказался довольно сложным для самолетов и пилотов. Только 36 экипажей из 60 финишировали вовремя. Еще 6 экипажей завершили маршрут, несмотря на дисквалификацию из-за нарушения временного регламента или ремонта винта, в случае отсутствия запасного винта. Среди выбывших были 9 немецких экипажей (3 из них завершили маршрут), 8 польских (3 завершили маршрут), 4 французских, 2 испанских и 1 британский (завершил маршрут). После ралли лидером в общем зачете стал Хьюберт Брод (DH 60G, 270 очков), за ним: Джон Карберри (Monocoupe, 268 очков), Рейнольд Посс (Klemm L.25E, 264 очка), четвертым стал Фриц Морцик (BFW M.23c, 263 очка). Самым быстрым немецким пилотом был Дитрих фон Массенбах (151 км/ч), но он потерял 10 очков за регулярность.

The contest in 1930 was the only Challenge, in which a rally was the opening phase. In spite of attempts of many pilots at being the first man home, it was not a race, but rather a reliability test. A regularity of flights was the most important factor, the second was a cruise speed (minimal cruise speed had to be 80 km/h for Class I aircraft or 60 km/h for lighter Class II aircraft. Cruise speeds above 175/155 km/h respectively did not give extra points). The original time limit for the return to Berlin was 4 p. m. on July 31, but it got extended later for some crews, due to bad weather in Pau. Apart from 75 points for regularity, up to 195 points could be gained for a high cruise speed. On July 21 the weather enabled flying only about mid day, but then most crews flew over the English Channel, and the fastest 23 planes managed to return to France. Three British and three French crews reached Paris that day, flying 843,5 km. Twelve fastest crews were the lucky ones to get to Spain, because on July 23 and 24, the whole rest of crews were grounded in Pau due to bad weather over the Pyrenees. Lady Bailey was the last to try to fly to Zaragoza, but she was forced to return to Pau. Due to flight prohibition, there were no penalties for not flying farther, and the return time limit was extended by 24 or 48 hours, depending on time when the crew arrived at Pau. Four crews dropped out that day, among them the best Polish pilot Franciszek Żwirko, flying RWD 4 (due to engine failure), also two German and the only Belgian crew of Jacques Maus (St. Hubert G.1). On July 27 the first pilots finished in Berlin. The first came Hubert Broad, then Sidney Thorn followed closely by Reinhold Poss. In an hour, there flew also Fritz Morzik, Maurice Finat, prince Antonio de Habsburgo Borbon, Georg Pasewaldt, H. Andrews and A. S. Butler. Some crews dropped out or were disqualified in these last days as well. The circuit over Europe appeared to be quite difficult for aircraft and pilots. Only 36 crews out of 60 finished in time. Further 6 crews completed the circuit in spite of being disqualified due to time infringement or propeller repairs, in case of not carrying a spare propeller. Among those, who dropped out, were 9 German crews (3 of them completed the circuit), 8 Polish (3 completed the circuit), 4 French, 2 Spanish and 1 British (completed the circuit). After the rally, a leader in the general classification was Hubert Broad (DH 60G, 270 points), behind him: John Carberry (Monocoupe, 268 pts), Reinhold Poss (Klemm L.25E, 264 pts), fourth was Fritz Morzik (BFW M.23c, 263 pts). The fastest German pilot was Dietrich von Massenbach (151 km/h), but he lost 10 points for regularity. Top results of the rally:.

Note, that lighter aircraft, like Klemm L.25, BFW M.23, RWD 2 (below 322 kg empty weight), were in the Category II, with lower cruise speed demands.
Технические испытания
Первый был испытанием быстрого складывания крыльев, призванным экономить место в ангарах. Самыми быстрыми были экипажи, летавшие на DH 60 (экипаж Хьюберта Брода сложил и разложил крылья всего за 48 секунд), получившие 19 очков. Экипажи немецкого BFW M.23c набрали 17-18 баллов, Klemm L.25E – 16-17 (F. Morzik – 18 баллов, O. Notz и W. Polte – 17 баллов, R. Poss – 16 баллов). Следующим было испытание быстрого запуска двигателя, за оснащение стартером которого начислялись дополнительные баллы. Лучший Klemm L.25Ia Тео Остеркампа с двигателем Salmson AD.9 заработал 11 очков. Немецкий пилот Вальтер Шпенглер (Klemm L.25) был дисквалифицирован за отсутствие запасного винта на борту во время этого испытания. 4 августа состоялась техническая оценка конструкции участвующих самолетов. Поскольку это был конкурс туристических самолетов, также оценивались такие характеристики, как комфортабельные кабины, боковые сиденья, богатый набор органов управления, дублирующие органы управления, устройства безопасности (огнезащитное оборудование и места для парашютов и спасательного оборудования). В технической оценке можно было выиграть максимум 104 балла из общего числа 230 баллов за техническую часть. Наиболее важной характеристикой была комфортабельная кабина (до 42 баллов). Больше всего баллов получил американский Monocoupe Джона Карберри (74 балла), затем три немецких Junkers A50 (67-69 баллов), затем Breda Ba.15S и Arado L IIa (65 баллов). 62 балла получил Klemm L.25E Рейнхольда Посса, столько же – польский RWD 4 Ежи Баяна. DH 60G Хьюберта Брода и Виннифред Споунер получили только 56 баллов, а BFW M.23c Фрица Морзика – 54 балла. Наихудшей была оценка BFW M.23b Ханса Бёнинга (39 баллов, победитель предыдущего конкурса), второй по худшей – Avro Avian Сидни Торна (43 балла). Кроме того, в это время спортивная комиссия оценила возможность разборки самолета для транспортировки (баллы были добавлены к результатам складывания и разворачивания крыльев). Немецкие экипажи на BFW M.23c, вместе с Ф. Морзиком, получили дополнительные 6 баллов, а Klemm L.25E, вместе с Поссом и Нотцем – 3 балла. Британским, польским и французским самолетам баллы не начислялись. После этих испытаний лидерами в классификации стали немцы: Рейнхольд Посс (382 балла), Оскар Нотц (380 баллов), Фриц Морзик (378 баллов), затем Джон Карберри (377 баллов), Хьюберт Брод (375 баллов) и Виннифред Споунер (370 баллов). Однако последующие испытания внесли некоторые изменения в эту классификацию. С вечера 5 августа до 7 августа проводились испытания на короткий взлет и посадку. Испытание на короткий взлет требовало пролета над воротами высотой 8,5 м, состоящими из двух мачт с натянутой лентой. Каждый экипаж выполнял две тренировочные попытки и две соревновательные. Лучшим был немецкий пилот Эрнст Крюгер, взлетевший с самой короткой дистанции – 125,5 м, затем Фриц Морзик (126,4 м) – оба на BFW M.23c, получившие 30 баллов. Следующие места также заняли немцы, шестое место заняла Виннифред Споунер на DH 60 (142 м – 25 баллов). Хьюберту Броду было начислено всего 12 баллов (198,4 м), а Джону Карберри – 21 балл (153,7 м). В обоих последних испытаниях польские и французские самолеты также показали плохие результаты.
The first was a trial of quick wings' folding, which was a feature to save place in hangars. The quickest were the crews flying DH 60s (Hubert Broad's crew folded and unfolded wings in mere 48 sec), awarded with 19 points. Crews of the German BFW M.23c scored 17 18 pts, of the Klemm L.25E – 16 17 (F. Morzik – 18 pts, O. Notz and W. Polte – 17 pts, R. Poss – 16 pts). The next was quick engine starting test, in which equipping with a starter was extra awarded. The best Klemm L.25Ia of Theo Osterkamp, with Salmson AD.9 engine, earned 11 points. The German Walter Spengler (Klemm L.25) was disqualified for not carrying his spare propeller aboard during this trial. On August 4 there took place a technical evaluation of competing planes' construction. Since it was a touring plane contest, such features, like comfortable cabs, side by side seats, rich set of controls, twin controls, safety devices (anti fire devices and places for parachutes and water safety equipment) were also awarded. In a technical evaluation, a maximum of 104 points could be won, of a total of 230 points for technical part. Most important feature was a comfortable cab (up to 42 points). Most points was given to the American Monocoupe of John Carberry (74 pts), then to three German Junkers A50s (67 69 pts), then Breda Ba.15S and Arado L IIa (65 pts). 62 points were given to Klemm L.25E of Reinhold Poss, the same to Polish RWD 4 of Jerzy Bajan. DH 60G's of Hubert Broad and Winifred Spooner were awarded only with 56 pts, while the BFW M.23c of Fritz Morzik with 54 pts. The worst was evaluation of Hans Böhning's BFW M.23b, with 39 pts (a winning type of the previous Challenge), the second worst was Sidney Thorn's Avro Avian – 43 pts. Additionally, in a meantime, the sports commission evaluated possibilities of dismantling the aircraft for transport (the points were added to results of wings' folding and unfolding). The German crews, flying BFW M.23c, along with F. Morzik, received additional 6 points, and Klemms L.25E, along with Poss and Notz – 3 points. No points were given to the British, Polish or French aircraft. After these trials, leaders in a classification became the Germans: Reinhold Poss (382 pts), Oskar Notz (380 pts), Fritz Morzik (378 pts), then John Carberry (377 pts), Hubert Broad (375 pts) and Winifred Spooner (370 pts). Last trials however brought some changes to this classification. From evening August 5 until August 7 there were carried short take off and landing trials. Short take off trial demanded flying over an 8.5m high gate, which consisted of two masts with a stretched tape. Each crew had two training attempts and two trials. The German pilot Ernst Krüger was the best, starting from the lowest distance of 125.5 m, then Fritz Morzik (126.4 m) – both flying the BFW M.23c, and awarded with 30 pts. Next places were occupied also by the Germans, the sixth was Winifred Spooner flying DH 60 (142 m – 25 pts). Hubert Broad was given only 12 points (198.4 m), and John Carberry – 21 points (153.7 m). In both last trials, the Polish and French aircraft performed poorly as well. Take off – best results Landing – best results PilotCountry Aircraft Points PilotCountry Aircraft Points 1.

To sum up technical trials part: Hubert Broad's advantage over other competitors was decreasing in following trials, then he lost several places after the aircraft evaluation and wings' folding tests. After poor take off and landing results, he occupied the 8th position eventually. Due to lack of folding wings and engine starter, John Carberry fell from the 2nd to 11th position, only to regain this position thanks to best aircraft evaluation. However, mediocre take off and landing results gave him the 6th place overall. Technical part saw a duel between Reinhold Poss and Fritz Morzik, occupying the 3rd and 4th places respectively after the circuit part. Poss took a lead, while Morzik fell to the 5th position after the aircraft evaluation, but Morzik's superb take off and landing made him a winner, while Poss took the 2nd place. Oskar Notz and Winifred Spooner both performed very well, improving their positions by three places (from the 7th and 8th place respectively), while Willy Polte improved it only by one step (from the 6th position). Winifred Spooner performed good take off and landing as the only British competitor and the only flying DH.60. Other competitors, who managed to improve their positions much in this part, in spite of flying older aircraft, were Theo Osterkamp (from the 16th to 11th place), Robert Lusser (from the 18th to 14th place) and Friedrich Siebel (from 25th to 18th place). Among the competitors, who lost most position, were Edward Więckowski (from 15th to 21st place), S. Thorn and A. Gothe.

To sum up technical trials part: Hubert Broad's advantage over other competitors was decreasing in following trials, then he lost several places after the aircraft evaluation and wings' folding tests. After poor take off and landing results, he occupied the 8th position eventually. Due to lack of folding wings and engine starter, John Carberry fell from the 2nd to 11th position, only to regain this position thanks to best aircraft evaluation. However, mediocre take off and landing results gave him the 6th place overall. Technical part saw a duel between Reinhold Poss and Fritz Morzik, occupying the 3rd and 4th places respectively after the circuit part. Poss took a lead, while Morzik fell to the 5th position after the aircraft evaluation, but Morzik's superb take off and landing made him a winner, while Poss took the 2nd place. Oskar Notz and Winifred Spooner both performed very well, improving their positions by three places (from the 7th and 8th place respectively), while Willy Polte improved it only by one step (from the 6th position). Winifred Spooner performed good take off and landing as the only British competitor and the only flying DH.60. Other competitors, who managed to improve their positions much in this part, in spite of flying older aircraft, were Theo Osterkamp (from the 16th to 11th place), Robert Lusser (from the 18th to 14th place) and Friedrich Siebel (from 25th to 18th place). Among the competitors, who lost most position, were Edward Więckowski (from 15th to 21st place), S. Thorn and A. Gothe.
Подводя итоги технических испытаний: преимущество Хьюберта Брода над другими конкурентами уменьшалось в последующих испытаниях, после чего он потерял несколько мест после оценки самолета и испытаний по складыванию крыльев. После плохих результатов взлета и посадки он занял в итоге 8-е место. Из-за отсутствия складывающихся крыльев и стартера двигателя Джон Карберри опустился с 2-го на 11-е место, но затем восстановил эту позицию благодаря лучшей оценке самолета. Однако посредственные результаты взлета и посадки принесли ему 6-е место в общем зачете. В технической части развернулась дуэль между Рейнхольдом Поссом и Фрицем Морзиком, занявшими 3-е и 4-е места соответственно после контурной части. Посс вышел в лидеры, а Морзик опустился на 5-е место после оценки самолета, но превосходные результаты взлета и посадки Морзика сделали его победителем, а Посс занял 2-е место. Оскар Нотц и Виннифред Споунер оба выступили успешно, улучшив свои позиции на три места (с 7-го и 8-го соответственно), в то время как Вилли Полте улучшил свою позицию только на одну ступень (с 6-го места). Виннифред Споунер показала хорошие результаты взлета и посадки как единственный британский участник и единственный пилот DH.60. Другими участниками, значительно улучшившими свои позиции в этой части, несмотря на использование более старых самолетов, были Тео Остеркамп (с 16-го на 11-е место), Роберт Луссер (с 18-го на 14-е место) и Фридрих Сибель (с 25-го на 18-е место). Среди участников, потерявших больше всего позиций, были Эдвард Венчковски (с 15-го на 21-е место), С. Торн и А. Готэ.
The first was a trial of quick wings' folding, which was a feature to save place in hangars. The quickest were the crews flying DH 60s (Hubert Broad's crew folded and unfolded wings in mere 48 sec), awarded with 19 points. Crews of the German BFW M.23c scored 17 18 pts, of the Klemm L.25E – 16 17 (F. Morzik – 18 pts, O. Notz and W. Polte – 17 pts, R. Poss – 16 pts). The next was quick engine starting test, in which equipping with a starter was extra awarded. The best Klemm L.25Ia of Theo Osterkamp, with Salmson AD.9 engine, earned 11 points. The German Walter Spengler (Klemm L.25) was disqualified for not carrying his spare propeller aboard during this trial. On August 4 there took place a technical evaluation of competing planes' construction. Since it was a touring plane contest, such features, like comfortable cabs, side by side seats, rich set of controls, twin controls, safety devices (anti fire devices and places for parachutes and water safety equipment) were also awarded. In a technical evaluation, a maximum of 104 points could be won, of a total of 230 points for technical part. Most important feature was a comfortable cab (up to 42 points). Most points was given to the American Monocoupe of John Carberry (74 pts), then to three German Junkers A50s (67 69 pts), then Breda Ba.15S and Arado L IIa (65 pts). 62 points were given to Klemm L.25E of Reinhold Poss, the same to Polish RWD 4 of Jerzy Bajan. DH 60G's of Hubert Broad and Winifred Spooner were awarded only with 56 pts, while the BFW M.23c of Fritz Morzik with 54 pts. The worst was evaluation of Hans Böhning's BFW M.23b, with 39 pts (a winning type of the previous Challenge), the second worst was Sidney Thorn's Avro Avian – 43 pts. Additionally, in a meantime, the sports commission evaluated possibilities of dismantling the aircraft for transport (the points were added to results of wings' folding and unfolding). The German crews, flying BFW M.23c, along with F. Morzik, received additional 6 points, and Klemms L.25E, along with Poss and Notz – 3 points. No points were given to the British, Polish or French aircraft. After these trials, leaders in a classification became the Germans: Reinhold Poss (382 pts), Oskar Notz (380 pts), Fritz Morzik (378 pts), then John Carberry (377 pts), Hubert Broad (375 pts) and Winifred Spooner (370 pts). Last trials however brought some changes to this classification. From evening August 5 until August 7 there were carried short take off and landing trials. Short take off trial demanded flying over an 8.5m high gate, which consisted of two masts with a stretched tape. Each crew had two training attempts and two trials. The German pilot Ernst Krüger was the best, starting from the lowest distance of 125.5 m, then Fritz Morzik (126.4 m) – both flying the BFW M.23c, and awarded with 30 pts. Next places were occupied also by the Germans, the sixth was Winifred Spooner flying DH 60 (142 m – 25 pts). Hubert Broad was given only 12 points (198.4 m), and John Carberry – 21 points (153.7 m). In both last trials, the Polish and French aircraft performed poorly as well. Take off – best results Landing – best results PilotCountry Aircraft Points PilotCountry Aircraft Points 1.
