The total distance was 14,824 miles, as compared with the distance of 15,596 miles covered by Mr. Wiley Post.
'Mr. Hughes' time, was roughly half that of Mr. Wiley Post, who took seven days, 18 hours and 49 minutes te make his round-the-world flight.
The record-breaking flight was accomplished in a Lockheed Number Fourteen plane, powered with two Wright-cylinder motors, of 1,100 horse-power each.
The length of the plane is 44 feet 4 inches, with a wing-spread of 65% feet.
Immediately afterwards, the bearded, weary-looking but high-spirited flyers, led by Mr. Hughes, descended from the plane, and placed a wreath on Mr, Wiley Post's memorial, erected in a corner of the airfield.
