...Hawaiian Flight. "To get publicity and make a noise about what it was doing with aircraft, this so-called Hawaiian flight was arranged for. Three airplanes were built to participate in it.

When his picture was finished, the pen began again, sketched some U. S. soldiers at mess under the glaring Hawaiian sun. Six other pictures, traveling 255.85 mi. a minute, were sent from Honolulu and received, 20 minutes later, in Manhattan. The results of this longest wireless photo-transmission were said to be clearer than any obtained in some London-to-Manhattan tests made last fall...
