Black and white image of three children voting for "my best book friend" at the Boulder City Library. The library was then housed in the basement of the city's municipal building.
Description printed on photograph's accompanying strip of paper: "Hughes catches up with cables in Moscow. Moscow---Howard Hughes, sorting a packet of congratulatory cables on his arrival in Moscow. He was just beginning to sprout stubble with which he returned to New York, after his record-smashing round-the-world dash. 7/25/38"
An image showing an aerial view of Boulder City. The outlines of the small city are distinctively marked by the stark contrast between the city's greenery and the surrounding desert. Bits of the airplane from which the image itself was taken can be seen in the upper right corner of the photograph.
Howard Hughes leaving his private hangar as he is wished "happy landings" and well wishes by friends before he boards his speedy Lockheed plane at Union Air Terminal in Burbank, California.
