About to be hoisted onto a barge 'for shipment, by Erickson and Remmert, to Czechoslovakia, at pier near Floyd Benett Field'- probably near the Coast Guard seaplane ramp. The Bata company's first L-10A Electra, also registered OK-CTA (c/n 1068) was damaged in Chicago on 4 April 1937. To complete his trip, shoe king Jan Bata immediately bought OK-CTB (c/n 1091). It has been assumed that OK-CTA (c/n 1068) was repaired, but it is clear now that Bata received another airframe (c/n 1114). Photo by: Rudy Arnold / Smithsonian Institution

Following the racing success of the DGA-6, the DGA-7 prototype first flew in 1936 and the Howard Aircraft Company was formed to produce the DGA-8 series for the executive market. Note overpainted NC reg and North Beach Airport sign. This small airfield was soon expanded to become La Guardia. LGA soon proved insufficient, prompting the construction of Idlewild (JFK).

Designed for the Bendix Trophy, the DGA-6 won the 1935 edition from Burbank to Cleveland and surprisingly this four-seat aircraft also won the 1935 Thompson Trophy pylon race. Mister Mulligan is apparently seen here before the start of the 1936 Bendix from NY to Los Angeles, during which it crashed in New Mexico due to a propeller failure. Pilot Ben Howard lost a leg. The wreck was salvaged 34 years later and used to build the first of two DGA-6 replicas. Photo by: Rudy Arnold / Smithsonian Institution

The first Vega NR869E. Jimmie Mattern and Bennett Griffin, whose names are marked in the circle on the fuselage, flew this plane from Floyd Bennett Field to Berlin in July 1932 as part of a round-the-world attempt. They crashed in Belarus as the cabin door came off and struck the tailplane. Smaller parts of the wreck were returned to the USA and used in the refurbishment of Mattern's second Vega, ex NC106N, with the reg NR869E, too, carried over at his request. Both aircraft went by the name Century of Progress, but it is not worn here. Photo by: Rudy Arnold / Smithsonian Institution

The second Vega NR869E. The first (c/n 69) crashed during a round-the-world flight. Salvaged parts were used to prepare this plane, ex NC106N with Standard Oil, for a second attempt. The Stanovo eagle on the fuselage formed the basis for a spectacular red on blue livery. Jimmie Mattern departed solo on 3 June 1933, but found navigation difficult and crashed due to the use of tractor fuel following an unscheduled landing in Siberia.

The Cuban navy, then the Marina de Guerra Constitucional, used this aircraft - not a DGA-8 - for a grand tour of the Americas starting on 12 October 1940. It is seen in New York earlier in 1940.

The Herrick HV-2 Vertaplane could fly as a biplane or as an autogyro. The upper wing could be unlocked, but not locked in flight. The earlier HV-1 crashed, but the HV-2A successfully converted from fixed-wing to autogyro mode for the first time in July 1937 over its Boulevard Airport, Philadelphia base. Test flying had already begun in 1936 and this visit to Floyd Bennett Field took place in that year if the date is correct. Photo by: Rudy Arnold / Smithsonian Institution

The Hall Aluminum Aircraft Corporation was not terribly successful, but managed to sell nine PH-1 flying boats to the US Navy in 1930. Production of the PH recommenced in 1936 for the Coast Guard which ordered seven PH-2s, and seven PH-3s in 1939. These were the USCG's largest aircraft. Rudy Arnold photographed V164 off Coney Island - the building on the far right is the Half Moon Hotel which stood at West 29th Street. This one was lost in July 1939. The type was used for anti-submarine patrols during the war and kept in service until 1944. Photo by: Rudy Arnold / Smithsonian Institution

A white elephant it was, but the 40-tonne Laté 521 did manage route proving flights to New York, without carrying paying passengers. Named after naval lieutenant Paulin Paris, the sole 521 was photographed over Long Island by Rudy Arnold, arriving from Biscarosse via Lisbon and Horta, Azores. The original design had four engines in tandem pairs but two outboard engines had to be added. One Laté 522 and three Laté 523 versions were also built. The five flying boats were all impressed by the French navy in 1939. None survived WWII. Photo by: Rudy Arnold / Smithsonian Institution
