Typed onto a piece of paper attached to the image: "Hughes, Companions Welcomed at City Hall, New York City - In the greatest since Lindbergh's, Howard Hughes and his four gallant companions paraded up Broadway July 15 almost smothered by the accolade of ticker tape which fluttered down upon them from the skyscrapers. This picture was taken as the five record-smashing, Round-The-World fliers posed for photographers in front of City Hall. Credit Line (ACME) 7-15-38."
