Original Toronto Star caption: $15,000 in prize money flew their way. Returning from the London-to-Victoria air race, in which they won two prizes, Grant Davidson and his wife, Jill, of Donwoods Dr. are welcomed at Malton by their daughters Anna, 7, and Jennifer, 5. Neither had raced before, but they won $10,000 for finishing first in Class C and $3,000 for a first in the Regina-to-Calgary leg of the 5,801-mile race. With expense of 88,000, they came out 87,000 to the good.
