Description |
English: In 1924, United States army pilots became the first to fly around the world. This wasn't easy: at that time, planes were fragile and carried only a small amount of fuel. The men flew north to Alaska in four Douglas-built, single-engine, two-seater biplanes and returned to the city 176 days later. The planes were outfitted with pontoons for taking off and landing on the water. In this photo, men carry a pontoon to be placed on one of the planes in preparation for take-off from Sand Point. Handwritten on sleeve: Worlds F. Planes Pontoons. Caption by MOHAI staff.
