Last preparations for a flight around the world by Howard Hughes and crew, in 71 flying hours between 10 and 14 July 1938. The stages were between New York, Paris, Moscow, Omsk, Yakutsk, Fairbanks, Minneapolis and New York - too northern a route to qualify for an official record. This Super Electra was shipped to Britain in August 1940 according to the Rudy Arnold files. Apparently bought by the RAF, it crashed in Nairobi as AX688 on 10 November 1940.
