01
Artifact Overview
William S. Brock (left) and Edward F. Schlee attempted to fly their airplane Pride of Detroit around the world in 1927. Starting from Harbour Grace, Canada, they flew east for 12,295 miles. At Tokyo, Japan, a typhoon convinced them to end the effort. Nevertheless, Brock and Schlee were welcomed as heroes when they returned -- by ship -- to the United States.
