Seaplane Cruise Around the World
Journal of a Seaplane Cruise Around the World Part 4 -- North America The final chapter of Dr. Richard U. Light's 1934-35 journey is now available at http://www.neurosurgery.org/cybermuseum/summary.html This portion of the journal focuses on places and people. It begins with a description of Dr. Light and Bob Wilson's steamer trip across the Pacific with members of the 1934 All-American Baseball Team. He then describes their flights south along the West Coast of the United States, just missing the arrival of Amelia Earhart by one day on her historic flight between Honolulu and Oakland, California. Dr. Light's angst is apparent at having forgotten to check in with the Mexican authorities upon entering their territory. And, you can feel his mounting excitement as he gets closer to home. With this final portion of the Journal, we have included the list of materials that he and Bob took with them on their five month journey. Thank you for joining us at the Cyber Museum of Neurosurgery. Any comments and suggestions for future Special Exhibits will be greatly appreciated. Chris Ann Philips Archives Coordinator
