Art Siegel: Thanks for providing context for this photo. Any idea what the objects are that he's standing with?

Karen (LOC P&P) Karen, given their construction and shape, those are almost certainly fuel tanks for installation in the Keystone K-47 Pathfinder "American Legion" (reg. N-X179). Flying non-stop from North America to Paris would require a lot of fuel, especially for a multi-engine aircraft such as the "American Legion."

TVL1970: Thanks for the helpful information that the objects in the photo might be fuel tanks to be used on the attempted Transatlantic flight.
