A view of a smiling Howard Hughes at a parade held for him in Chicago. Hughes is seen sitting between two unidentified men in the back of the first car in line.
The black and white, skyline view of New York City with Lockheed 14 aircraft flying in the foreground. Typed onto script included with the image: "Howard Hughes plane Lockheed 14 in flight over lower New York City. To right in the background can be seen New York City's three bridges of the lower East River from front to rear: the Brooklyn Bridge, Manhattan Bridge, and the Williamsburg Bridge."
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.
