View of construction of one of the wings of the Hughes Flying Boat in a hangar at the Hughes Aircraft Company, June 1, 1945. Scaffolding is seen underneath the wing.
Text typed onto a piece of paper attached to the image: "Howard Hughes strutting across a New York hotel lobby after completing a Round The World flight. 7-15-38. (Press Association)."
The black and white view of a crowd of people, possibly including reporters and members of the press, standing atop a tower as they wait for the arrival of Howard Hughes in his Lockheed 14 aircraft at Floyd Bennett Airport, New York. This final landing for Hughes marked the end of his Round The World flight.
Back of the postcard. Some of the wording is not readable. It looks like the postcard was sent to a woman, Miss Stewart of California, from Paul Smith.
