Jim Mollison sets out for the UK in an attempt to break the transAtlantic record, which he succeeded in doing. The Bellanca was named after Mollison's actress girlfriend despite still being married to fellow pilot Amy Johnson. NR190M was next used to break the record for London to Capetown. The Flash did, like so many aircraft in that era, end up in Spain during the Spanish Civil War. Photo by: Rudy Arnold / Smithsonian Institution
