“Century of Progress” Lockheed Vega 5B

Description

Jimmy Mattern and Bennett Griffin flew “The Century of Progress”, a Lockheed Vega, powered by a Pratt & Whitney Wasp engine, from Floyd Bennett Field, New York to Harbor Grace, Newfoundland, and then non-stop to Berlin, Germany in 18:41 hours. This failed round-the-world flight attempt ended in an emergency crash landing at Borisov, Belarus, USSR on July 7, 1932. They did, however, set a new record for crossing the Atlantic Ocean: 10 hours, 50 minutes.
