Scope and content
ca. 1929. Harold Bromley and a second man, most probably his benefactor John Buffelen, stand next to Bromley's Lockheed Vega monoplane, the "City of Tacoma." Between them they hold a map that shows Bromley's proposed course for his non-stop flight from Tacoma to Tokyo. The route would follow the Great Circle and call for a continuous flight of 4,700 miles. The plane would never get off the ground, crashing on take off.
