    EXTREMELY RARE AND EXCEPTIONALLY DESIRABLE UNITED STATES FLAG FLOWN ON HOWARD HUGHES’ TRIUMPHANT 1938 AROUND-THE-WORLD FLIGHT
    Hughes set a new around-the-world record of 3 days, 19 hours and 8 minutes from July 10 to 14, 1938.  The flight took off from an airfield on Long Island, New York in a specially designed Lockheed 14N ‘Super Electra’ aircraft with a range of nearly 5,000 miles.  It made primary stops on the record-setting journey, including Paris, Moscow, Omsk, Yakutsk, Fairbanks, Minneapolis, and the final destination in New York City, and established Hughes as a national hero.
