Highlight of the Experimental Aircraft Association's AirVenture show at Oshkosh from 23-29 July may have been the Boeing B-29 Superfortress duo (see News, Aeroplane September) but there were plenty of other even more rare aircraft on show. Among the prizewinners at Oshkosh, the Grand Champion World War Two award went to the San Antonio-based Douglas A-20G Havoc, 43-21709/N747HS, of Lewis Air Legends, which made its maiden post-restoration flight from Chino, California on 15 July 2015. The Collings Foundation's Spitfire IX BR601/NX645Q from Stow, Massachusetts was awarded Reserve Grand Champion World War Two. The fighter — the sixth MklX delivered to the RAF — flew again on 31 August 2016 following a two-year restoration by The Spitfire Company at Biggin Hill, Kent (see News, Aeroplane November 2016). An EAA Gold Wrench Award was also presented to the Spitfire Company. Best Bomber went to Doc's Friends of Wichita, Kansas for B-29 N69972 Doc, and the Antique Grand Champion recipient was Scott Woods of Tiburon, California for his 1937 Stinson SR-9F, N18445. The Judges' Choice award was presented to the Commemorative Air Force Dixie Wing for Bell P-63A Kingcobra N191H (featured from page 84).
