Scope and content
Photograph showing four unidentified men outdoors. One man is kneeling in the grass and looking at a box-shaped device that he is holding to one eye. Two other men are crouching beside him, and a fourth man is leaning over them. The photograph may have been taken at Rankin field in Portland on August 17, 1930, before brothers Tex Rankin, Dick Rankin, and Dud Rankin began an attempt later that day to set a record for endurance flying. The photograph may depict observers inspecting the official barograph that the Rankins would use during their flight. A barograph is an instrument that measures and records atmospheric pressure. The man at left who is standing and leaning over to look at the barograph may be L. B. Hickam, leader of the contest committee of the local chapter of the National Aeronautics Association, who was among the official observers of the Rankins’ attempt at the endurance record.
