High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Coupe d'Aviation Maritime Jacques Schneider (commonly called the Schneider Trophy, or prize or cup) was a prize competition for seaplanes. Announced by Jacques Schneider, a financier, balloonist and aircraft enthusiast, in 1911, it offered a prize of roughly ?1,000. The race was held eleven times between 1913 and 1931.
