Built in 1930. Named Winnie Mae after the daughter of oil man F. C. Hall, the original owner and a friend of pilot Wiley Post, who used it to win the 1930 National Air Race Derby, from Los Angeles to Chicago, and to fly around the world twice, in 1931 and 1933. The fourth achievement recorded on the rear fuselage is a high-altitude flight on 15 March 1935, with Post wearing an early pressure suit. The aircraft was acquired for preservation by the Smithsonian even before Post's fatal accident in August of the same year. Photo from: San Diego Air & Space Museum

On display in the Time and Navigation exhibition at the National Air and Space Museum. This specially modified 5C Vega set the record in 1931 for a flight around the world, taking 8 days in the hands of Wiley H. Post and Harold Gatty. Post repeated the feat solo, taking only 7 days in July 1933. In March 1935, Post flew this Vega high enough from Burbank to Cleveland to be operating in the jetstream. The Smithsonian acquired 'Winnie Mae' shortly after Post's death in a flying accident in August 1935.
