Answer

The Schneider Trophy was an international competition for seaplanes, held annually from 1913 to 1931. The competition was named after Jacques Schneider, a French aviation pioneer who donated the trophy.

The competition was open to any country, and the winner was the seaplane that completed the course in the shortest time.
