English: Pilots with world's flight plane, Seattle, 1924
Description
English:

In 1924, United States army pilots became the first to fly around the world. The men left Seattle on April 6 and flew north to Alaska in four Douglas-built, single-engine, two-seater biplanes. The planes were named after major cities, and in fact the flagship craft carried the moniker of Seattle. Two of the planes crashed en route (including the Seattle), but all of the men survived. The Chicago was one of the two original planes to complete the 40,000-mile journey.
