The Powder Puff Derby was the name given to an annual transcontinental air race for women pilots inaugurated in 1947. For the next two years it was named the "Jacqueline Cochran All-Woman Transcontinental Air Race" (AWTAR). It was dubbed the "Powder Puff Derby" in reference to the 1929 Women's Air Derby by humorist and aviation advocate Will Rogers. In 1977, rising costs, insurance premiums, and diminished corporate sponsorship saw the competition come to an end after thirty years. After the commemorative final flight, the Air Race Classic continued the tradition for women pilots.

  • Das Cleveland Women’s Air Derby, heute hauptsächlich bekannt als Powder Puff Derby (Puderquasten­rennen), war das weltweit erste Luftderby nur für Pilotinnen. Es fand vom 13. bis 20. August 1929 statt und führte von Santa Monica in Kalifornien nach Cleveland in Ohio. 1977 wurden die Rennen aufgegeben. Seinen Spitznamen erhielt es vom Komiker Will Rogers, der es nach dem damals für Frauen üblichen Kosmetikutensil als „Powder Puff Derby“ bezeichnete. Der Name wurde auch von Teilnehmerinnen, wie der Siegerin des Rennens, Louise Thaden, übernommen. (de)
