Summary
[edit]DescriptionWidow of noted flyer receives medal Commandant of the US Marine Corps and Ass SecNav 1930.jpg | Mrs. Florence Shaw Page receives the Distinguished Flying Cross awarded posthumously to the late Capt. Arthur H. Page, U.S. Marines, for this "pioneering" scientific [...] and successful accomplishment in the art of blind flying." The particular flight for which he received the medal was from Omaha to Anacostia, Washington D.C. (USA), the distance of 1,000 miles having been made by flying blind the entire distance in one day. Capt. Page was also noted for having won the Curtiss Marine Trophy Race last spring, flying the 100-mile course at an average of 164 miles an hour. He died from injuries received when his plane crashed during the Thompson Trophy Race at Chicago, in September 1929. In the photograph, left to right: Maj. Gen. Ben H. Fuller, Commandant of the United States Marine Corps; Mrs. Page and Ernest Lee Jahncke, Assistant Secretary of the Navy. | ||
