About this paint

James' 2019 Indianapolis 500 Special helmet in memory of the late Tony Gaze. "Tony lived an incredible life first flying Spitfires at 19 for the Royal Air Force during WWII. He become Squadron leader, double Ace and was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross three times, one of only 47 men in the Second World War. After being shot down over occupied France and escaping back to the UK, he returned to Military duties and became the first Western-Allied Pilot to fly Jet aircraft. Upon Germany’s unconditional surrender, Tony landed on the Autobahn, chatting with the pilots of the Luftwaffe. At the end of WWII, he suggested to the Duke of Richmond & Gordon that the roads around RAF base Westhampnett would be a good location for a motor racing circuit, as such the famous Goodwood Circuit was created. Tony went on to become the first Australian Formula 1 driver when he drove in the Belgium Grand Prix at Spa-Franchcorchamps in 1952. As a result of his achievements he was awarded an Order of Australia Medal, something so deeply deserved. In 2013 he passed away at 93. An incredible life well lived that I am proud to pay tribute to."
