The black and white view of a crowd standing outside City Hall while Howard Hughes and his crew get their picture taken in celebration of Hughes' completion of his Round the World flight in New York City, New York.
Typed onto a piece of paper attached to the image: "New York Hails Hughes and His Companions, New York City - In the greatest reception since Lindbergh's, Howard Hughes and his four gallant companions paraded up Broadway July 15 almost smothered beneath New York's ticker tape accolade recognizing their record-smashing Round-The-World dash. This picture shows Hughes at City Hall as he paused only long enough for a glass of water. At right is his fellow Texan, Jesse Johes, chairman of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation.
