| Description: | Rolling, light in contrast and imagery: Dick Merrill and Harry Richman hop into their patched-up trans-Atlantic plane in Newfoundland, hopping off on the last leg of their round-trip New York-London hop. The Lady Peace comes to earth at Floyd Bennett, ending her long journey while the throng cheers the airmen, and they tell what they think about it all. First pictures show rich man and Merrill’s safe landing in a cow pasture at the completion of their hop from New York. Fences are cleared to allow the fliers to take off again on their way to the British Capital. Lady Peace is the plane's name. | |
