    The four expedition DWCs ("Boston", "Chicago", "New Orleans" & "Seattle") departed Sand Point (near Seattle), Washington (USA) on 6 April 1924. "Seattle" (s/n 23-1229) only made it as far as Alaska before crashing beyond repair on 30 Apr 24, while "Boston" (s/n 23-1231) was abandoned in the Atlantic near the Faroe Islands. "Chicago" (s/n 23-1230) and "New Orleans" (s/n 23-1232) completed the global expedition on 28 September 1924.

    The third a/c pictured here is "Boston II", the re-christened prototype (s/n 23-1210) DWC which joined the two surviving a/c on the final leg of their journey across the US in September 1924.

    "Chicago" (restored in 1974) is in the Smithonian's A&SM in Washington D.C., while "New Orleans" was displayed in the NMUSAF from 1957 until 2005; more recently, it became part of the Museum of Flying in Santa Monica, CA. The "Seattle" wreckage was recovered and is now displayed hanging from the ceiling in the Alaska Aviation Heritage Museum in Anchorage, AK.

    Alfred A. "Al" Bernard (1888-1949) was an American vaudeville singer, known as "The Boy From Dixie", who was most popular during the 1910s through early 1930s. Born in New Orleans, Louisiana, Bernard became a blackface singer in minstrel shows before starting his recording career around 1916.   Bernard composed and recorded more than 100 songs in the first three decades of the 20th century.   He was one of the first white singers to record blues songs.   W. C. Handy credited Bernard with helping his own career by recording a number of his songs, notably "St. Louis Blues".  Bernard recorded the song for nine different record labels, the most successful being what Handy called "the sensational Victor recording in which he sang with the Dixieland Jazz Band". For a brief period in the early 20's Bernard was teamed with Jimmy Durante and wrote the lyrics for "Papa String Bean" for Durante.  He teamed up with the ragtime composer J. Russell Robinson in a vaudeville team called the Dixie Stars and they recorded songs together for a number of famous labels.  Bernard usually sang while Robinson played the piano and added some vocals. Together they composed a number of hit songs including "Blue Eyed Sally" and "Let Me Be The First To Kiss You Good Morning".   Excerpted – [1] [2]
