  • The Gordon Bennett Cup (or Coupe AĆ©ronautique Gordon Bennett) is the world's oldest gas balloon race. According to the organizers, the aim of the contest "is simple: to fly the furthest distance from the launch site." The 22nd race was held Sept. 23, 1934 starting in Warsaw and was won by naive sons Franciszek Hynek and Wladyslaw Pomaski.
