Falcon Special II 'Lil Rebel': A Thrilling Tale of Midget Racers and the 1948 Goodyear Race This photograph showcases the Falcon Special II 'Lil Rebel' midget racer, piloted by the skilled W.L. LeFevers, during the 1948 Goodyear Race held in Cleveland, Ohio. The National Air Races, an annual event that attracted aviation enthusiasts from across the country, provided a platform for these daring pilots to showcase their skills and push the limits of their aircraft. The Falcon Special II 'Lil Rebel' was a remarkable machine, featuring a sleek, aerodynamic design and a powerful engine that roared to life as LeFevers prepared for takeoff. With race number 10 adorned on its side, this midget racer was a force to be reckoned with on the racetrack. The Goodyear Race was a high-stakes competition, with pilots pushing their aircraft to the brink of their capabilities. The midget racers, including the Falcon Special II 'Lil Rebel,' were no exception. These small, agile planes required precision, skill, and courage to navigate the tight turns and high speeds of the course. LeFevers, a seasoned pilot, expertly maneuvered the Falcon Special II 'Lil Rebel' through the race, leaving competitors in his wake. The crowd watched in awe as the plane soared through the sky, its engine emitting a deafening roar with each pass. This photograph captures a moment in time, a snapshot of the excitement and thrill of the 1948 Goodyear Race and the Falcon Special II 'Lil Rebel's' triumphant performance. It serves as a reminder of the passion and dedication of the pilots and their machines, and the enduring allure of the world of aviation.
