Description
English:

Major Frederick L. Martin served as the commanding officer for the U.S. Army's round-the-world flight attempt in 1924. Seattle's Sand Point Airfield functioned as the start and finish point for the first successful aerial circumnavigation of the globe. The endeavor began on April 6, 1924 with four single-engine biplanes, specially-built Douglas World Cruisers, which each had a crew of two men. Two planes were lost along the way without injury to the crewmembers and an additional plane joined the attempt in Nova Scotia. The circumnavigation concluded after 26,000 miles and seventeen engines to the three planes landing to a cheering crowd of 40,000 people on September 28, 1924. This photo of Major Martin with his family is from the time period in which the world flight was undertaken.
