Description |
English: Major Frederick L. Martin served as the commanding officer for the U.S. Army's round-the-world flight attempt in 1924. Seattle's Sand Point Airfield functioned as the start and finish point for the first successful aerial circumnavigation of the globe. The endeavor began on April 6, 1924 with four single-engine biplanes, specially-built Douglas World Cruisers, which each had a crew of two men. Two planes were lost along the way without injury to the crewmembers and an additional plane joined the attempt in Nova Scotia. The circumnavigation concluded with the three planes landing to a cheering crowd of 40,000 people on September 28, 1924. This photo is of Major Martin with world flight pilot Lt. Lowell Smith and Lt. T.J. Koenig who was the Air Service officer in command of the flying field at Sand Point in 1924. Caption information sources: HistoryLink, World Flight Chronicle.
