Description printed on accompanying strip of paper: "Howard Hughes reading maps and studying his way in the meteorological office at the Le Bourget. July 1938"
Typed onto a piece of paper attached to the image: "Contemplative smile. Here, Howard Hughes seems in rapt thought during one of the numerous speeches extolling his feat. Probably thinking of the "men who designed and perfected to its present remarkable state of efficiency, the modern American flying machine and equipment."
