First non-stop US transcontinental flight

The first non-stop transcontinental flight across the United States lands at Rockwell Field in San Diego, CA, on May 3, 1923. The pilots are Air Service Lieutenants Oakley Kelly and John Macready. They jointly won the prestigious Mackay Trophy for their accomplishment. From the Fox Movietone News collection.

Wow, to make a flight like that sitting right next to the engine, right in the prop wash for hours on end, had to be exhausting.

Too bad they didn't have sound back then. A great look back.
Thanks
