Giuseppe Motta (aviator)

Giuseppe Motta (died 1929) was an Italian World War I fighter pilot and seaplane air racer of the 1920s.



After World War I, Motta tested racing seaplanes for the Schneider Trophy race. He was killed during a test flight of the Macchi M.67 after having reached 583 km/h. This world record held until George Stainforth broke the 400 mph barrier, on 29 September 1931.
