Lot Description:OAKLAND AIRPORT & THE 1928 TRANS-PACIFIC FLIGHT: Original Associated Press photo of James Warner (radio operator) & Charles Ulm (relief pilot)
titled “A Minute To Go” at Oakland Airport while Kingsford Smith was warming up the engines of the Southern Cross; another press photo of the Southern Cross during pre-flight preparations, with the Paramount News van at left, mechanics and officials around the plane; and the July-August 1935 edition of the Port of Oakland “Compass” magazine, the edition devoted completely to “Air Commerce”. Kingsford Smith features in an article headed “Famous Flights” in which the May/June Trans-Pacific flight that left from Oakland is detailed, as well as Kingsford Smith’s July 4, 1930 completion at Oakland of his circumnavigation of the globe, his Nov.1934 first trans-Pacific flight that terminated at Oakland and, sadly, the loss at sea of Ulm & Littlejohn on their Dec.1934 flight from Oakland via Honolulu and Suva.
