Dole Air Race

    The prototype Travel Air 5000, nicknamed "City of Oakland," taxiing prior to departure for Hawaii on 14 July 1927. The ship was so heavy with fuel that bystanders were called on to push it from its parking spot, so it could begin its takeoff roll.

    The prototype Travel Air 5000 "City of Oakland" came to rest on the island of Molokai after running out of gas. The aircraft was a write-off, but Smith and Bronte walked away from the crash-landing to become the first civilians to successfully fly the Pacific from the mainland to Hawaii. Their flight pre-dated the Dole race by over a month.

This image is "flopped" - reversed from the negative - as evidenced by the propeller pitched the wrong direction.
