The Cuban navy, then the Marina de Guerra Constitucional, used this aircraft - not a DGA-8 - for a grand tour of the Americas starting on 12 October 1940. It is seen in New York earlier in 1940. Aviation photographer Rudy Arnold was based at Floyd Bennett Field and this is the north side of the airport, with the old Mill Basin Bridge visible on the far left.
