On April 6, 1924, four Douglas World Cruisers and eight crewmen set out from Seattle, Washington, to attempt the first around-the-world airplane flight. On September 28, six of the men successfully became the first to circumnavigate the earth by air. Named after four major American cities—Seattle, Chicago, Boston, and New Orleans—the airplanes were capable of operating from both land and water and were equipped with the latest navigational aids.
