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

    Smith & Bronte cross the Pacific - with a few more pounds and a little less hair - probably on a 25th anniversary flight aboard a Pan Am "Clipper."
