Photo Comment

The pride taken by 'Buffalo Joe' and his company in the operation of this propliner is evident from the nose art. The "First around the World" logo was adopted by the Douglas Aircraft Company after a group of Douglas World Cruisers had successfully circumnavigated the globe - in 1924.
