The postcard is signed "John, Jr." There was only one "John, Jr." among the Around the World Flight Army Air Service flight crews, Lt. John "Smiling Jack" Harding, Jr. (1896-1968), co-pilot (with Lt. Erik H. Nelson) and mechanic of the Douglas World Cruiser named "New Orleans" (Air Service Serial No. A.S. 1232; c/n 148). There are photos of Jack Harding (and the other Around The World flight aviators) throughout the SDASM Flickr Commons collection. See: www.flickr.com/search/?sort=date-taken-desc&safe_sear... Here is a SDASM photo of Harding (left side of the frame) and Nelson (right side of the frame) standing next to "New Orleans": See also: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_aerial_circumnavigation www.findagrave.com/memorial/194943406/john-harding
