Scope and content
Photograph, taken from the side, showing pilot Tex Rankin speaking into a dictation recording machine. He is probably seated inside a Stinson Detroiter monoplane, the On-To-Oregon, on Sunday, August 17, 1930, before he and brothers Dick Rankin and Dud Rankin made the first of four unsuccessful attempts that month to set an endurance flying record. A cropped version of this photo was one of four, including image No. 371N6206, that was published on Page 2 of the Oregon Journal on Monday, August 18, 1930. The photographs were published under the headline “When Rankins Took Off on Attempt at Record.” The photographs accompanied the continuation of a front-page story about the attempt. This photograph had the following caption: “Tex at the dictaphone, by means of which he hoped to carry on his business and give orders to his ground crew.” Also see image Nos. 371N6017, 371N6022, 371N6023, 371N6024, 371N6025, 371N6060, 371N6063, 371N6064, 371N6103, 371N6120, 371N6121, 371N6128, 371N6129, 371N6130, 371N6132, 371N6133, 371N6134, 371N6138, 371N6199, 371N6206, 371N6207, 371N6221, 371N6227, 371N6228, 371N6233, and 371N6234.
