Douglas World Cruise

from SDASM Archives

• rotec.holger said:

  The ship is the American four-funnel destroyer USS Pope (DD-225) on a goodwill tour to Japan in 1924 to back up the coincident arrival of the Douglas World Cruisers flight. The floatplane above should be one of the Douglas DWCs (looks a bit like a Martin SC-1 aka Curtiss CS-1). The writing on te lower right side says location is the port of Kushimoto (Translation by Mr. Hayashi Shigeru).

Mitsubishi, Nippon

• Kees Kort said:

  This machine (J-BACI named Nippon) was a Mutsubishi G3M2 transport variant which did a round the world flight between August 26, 1939 till October 20, 1939. The world flight was sponsored by the Japanese newspaper MAINICHI SHINBUN (translated as DAILY NEWS). More can be found on www.vectorsite.net/avg4m.html
