The picture shows a Fokker Trimotor with an advertising text on the side of the fuselage for cigarettes. P. Lorillard introduces Old Gold cigarettes. The firm is well known for its Murad cigarettes and their slogan, "Be nonchalant light a Murad"; Old Golds will gain popularity with the slogan, "Not a cough in a carload"

I wonder if this is US c/n 603 reg as 3080? Looks like 3060 but since that one was no Fokker 3080 is my second best Stig PS: I refrain from making any comment about the ad, but since I am a non-smoker.....

Looking at the largest scan available I see '3080' on the tail which makes it a Fokker F.VIIa-3m (c/n 603). The machines crashed on 18 February 1929.

The "unidentified woman" in the photo is Amelia Earhart aboard the SS President Roosevelt during her return to the United States after her first flight - as a passenger - across the Atlantic in 1928. Sitting next to her is Captain of the President Roosevelt, Harry Manning. Earhart and Manning would quickly form a friendship aboard the ship, and she would eventually ask him to be her navigator for her initial attempt at circumnavigating the globe in 1937. This attempt was aborted in Hawaii, after Earhart ground looped her Lockheed 10E Electra (NR16020) at Luke Field on Ford Island, Pearl Harbor on March 20, 1937. Manning suffered only a bruised elbow during the accident. This incident caused significant damage to the aircraft, which would require repair, delaying Earhart's trip an additional three months. Due to the delay (and some claim other factors), Manning was unable to join Earhart on this second (ill-fated) attempt.

I am not exactly that this is connected with the photo but it could be.

They have the same look.
