Scope and content
Photograph showing Portland Mayor George L. Baker handing documents to a man in a flight suit, possibly United States Army Air Service pilot Major Frederick Martin. The photograph was probably taken at Pearson Field in Vancouver, Washington, on March 19, 1924. That day, a group of Army Air Service aviators stopped at Pearson on their way to Seattle, where they began the first flight around the world. In a March 19 story about the aviators’ stop in the area, the Oregon Journal reported that Baker had given Martin, the commander of the expedition, letters from the city of Portland to deliver to the leaders of China and Japan. See related image No. 371N5990. Image note: Photograph shows discoloration due to deterioration of the negative.
