The black and white view of the Lockheed 14 aircraft. Typed onto a piece of paper attached to the image: "Take-off from Floyd Bennett Airport for Paris on first lef of Round the World flight at 7:20 P.M. E.D.T. piloted by Howard Hughes with crew of four."
Howard Hughes speaks into two microphones as he gives a news conference beside the Douglas DC-3, after landing in New York. This was his first flight after the nearly fatal crash of the first XF-11. A number of officials and onlookers stand nearby.
