President Woodrow Wilson came to see the departure of the US Post Offices's first scheduled mail flight to Philadelphia, but it was quite an embarrassment. First, the US Army Air Service crew had forgotten to fuel the new JN-4HM mailplane and then the pilot, Lt Boyle, was seen flying off in the wrong direction. Trying again two days later, the inexperienced Boyle got lost again. He had been selected by the Post Office because he was engaged to the daughter of someone important. Appropriately, Jenny 38262 flies upside down in a misprinted stamp. Photo from: US Air Force

On display in the Golden Age of Flight Hall at NASM, Washington, D.C. On Sept. 13, 1935, Howard Hughes set a new world speed record by flying the H-1 at 567 km/h. On Jan. 19, 1937 he broke the transcontinental US speed record with an incredible avg. speed of 535 km/h. Hughes used low aspect ratio wings and moderate aspect ratio wings respectively for each record. Outstanding design features included the close fitting bell-shaped engine cowling, retractable landing gear and flush rivets to reduce drag.

Displayed at the Newseum. Though marked as N206EN, this is not that aircraft (c/n 1757) as it was a JetRanger II, and is known to have gone to France as F-GMOJ. Signage gives the variant for this one as a III, and indicates it was donated by Bell, among others. The Newseum closed on December 31, 2019; this aircraft's disposition since then is not known by me.

The first of only six S-58 helicopters - HUS-1Gs 1332 through 1336 and 1343 - to serve in the US Coast Guard, which received the HH-52 Seaguard instead. The 6A tail code of the Skyraiders in the background hints at NAS Anacostia as the photo location. 1332 went to the USAF as 63-7972 and to Air America in August 1963, then to the Laotian air force.

The second of three D-558-2 Skyrockets built by Douglas for the US Navy's supersonic research. This was the first Mach 2 buster aircraft with Scott Crossfield taking it to Mach 2.005 on November 20, 1953 during NACA (National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics - renamed NASA after 1958) testing. It was the Skyrocket's only Mach 2 flight.

The first of 205 NH-1 instrument trainers. These wore a green band around the rear fuselage. The US Navy appreciated the qualities of the Howard DGA-15 and some 275 utility transports designated GH were also acquired, adding to four impressed civil aircraft. The GH-2 model was an ambulance. It is not clear if the name Nightingale applied to the GH-2 or to the GH and NH overall, depending if it referred to Florence or the bird. Photo from: Naval History and Heritage Command
