Douglas World Cruisers (w1881)

Descrizione: La prima circumnavigazione aerea del mondo è stata un evento storico avvenuto nel 1924, quando quattro aerei Douglas World Cruiser della United States Army Air Service hanno compiuto il viaggio intorno al globo. Partiti da Seattle, i coraggiosi equipaggi hanno affrontato sfide enormi, volando su distanze mai coperte prima in aereo. Il percorso ha incluso tappe in Alaska, Giappone, Sud-Est asiatico, India, Medio Oriente, Europa e attraverso l'Atlantico, fino a tornare negli Stati Uniti. Dopo 175 giorni e più di 27'000 miglia, solo due dei quattro aerei hanno completato il viaggio
