    Looks like we are skipping forward to 1927 here, the first Trans-Pacific flight from Oakland, CA to Honolulu, HI. : "Lester James Maitland (February 8, 1899 – March 27, 1990) was an aviation pioneer and career officer in the United States Army Air Forces and its predecessors. Maitland began his career as a Reserve pilot in the U.S. Army Air Service during World War I and rose to brigadier general in the Michigan Air National Guard following World War II. In 1927 Maitland and Lt. Albert F. Hegenberger completed the first transpacific flight from California to Hawaii, flying the modified transport Bird of Paradise. Although the recognition accorded them was less in comparison with the adulation given Charles Lindbergh for his transatlantic flight only five weeks earlier, Maitland and Hegenberger's feat was arguably more significant from a navigational stand point." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lester_J._Maitland "Albert Francis Hegenberger (September 30, 1895 – August 31, 1983) was a Major General in the United States Air Force and a pioneering aviator who set a flight distance record with Lester J. Maitland, completing the first transpacific flight to Hawaii in 1927 as navigator of the Bird of Paradise. Hegenberger was an aeronautical engineer of note, earning both the Mackay Trophy (1927) and Collier Trophy (1934) for achievement." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Francis_Hegenberger "Hegenberger Road and Hegenberger Expressway in Oakland, California are both named in honor of Lt. Albert F. Hegenberger." localwiki.org/oakland/First_Trans-Pacific_Flight
