Today’s peek into the archives comes from the Museum’s lantern slide collection. These hand-colored images were originally used to illustrate public lectures at the Museum.

What’s adventure without a little danger?

An apt question.

Around the World by Airplane

At 1:28 p.m. on September 28, 1924, two planes landing in Seattle made history. The Chicago and New Orleans had flown 26,345 miles in 66 days to become the first airplanes to circumnavigate the globe.

OMG! This was today? I think this is one of the coolest little-known milestones in aviation history. Every time I’m in the Pioneers of Flight gallery at the National Air and Space Museum, I make a beeline for the Chicago. 

Have I mentioned I like the history of aviation?

And world records?

And the 1920s?

Who doesn’t?
