The Aero Club of Memphis was organized ca. March 1910 and quickly affiliated with the Aero Club of America in order to sponsor a national aviation on 6 through 9 Apr. 1910 so that any records established would be official. Judges who would measure heights and distances reached by the aeroplanes were to come from other cities to officiate at the meet. Besides aeroplane races, there were to be races between aeroplanes and automobiles and between aeroplanes and motorcycles.
