Douglas World Cruisers

On April 6, 1924 the Army Air Service departed Seattle, Washington with four Douglas World Cruiser aircraft for an around the world
 record attempt.  After 371 flight hours, two of the four aircraft completed the flight, returning to Seattle on September 28.
 A detailed account of the flight can be found in the recently released History Channel documentary entitled
