Mechanical base is fairly easy, but who's the driver of this racing special? One point is waiting for you!

I assumed it was America. Is the driver a famous WW1 pilot?
I must be right - that's what it says on Wikipedia

pnegyesi

yes, America, yes a WW1 pilot - as for famous, I can't judge that

When I look for information, everything is about Eddie Rickenbacker. I think you can safely say he's well-known.

The only other name so far is Caleb Bragg. Is it him?
I must be right - that's what it says on Wikipedia

pnegyesi

not Rickenbacker or Bragg. Then let's say he was just famous in his neck of the woods

He reminds me of this famous passenger  ;)

The 'net lists 36 US pilots in that certain squadron. This could take a long time.

James Hall ?

You are absolutely correct. Probably Ford Model T based
