A photo of spectators and military at Wheeler Field, Wahiawa, Oahu, with "Woolaroc," the Travel Air 5000 (reg. NX869), piloted by Art Goebel and William V. Davis, Jr., after winning the ill-fated 1927 Dole Air Race. See: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dole_Air_Race

Gerry Asher said:
The "Woolaroc" in her final mutation: an (unsuccessful) attempt at a speed record. The cockpit had been moved aft (a la "Spirit of Saint Louis") to accommodate a center-of-gravity shift with a larger engine installation.

Here is a British Pathe newsreel clip of Art Goebel piloting an aircraft with a couple of female wing walkers aboard. We get a good look at Goebel at the 8-second mark of the footage. Goebel would famously pilot the winning entry "Woolaroc," in the treacherous 1927 Dole Air Race from Oakland to Honolulu.
