Here's another little bit of cigar/aviation history

Airmail pilot J.D. Hill once forgot to bring his watch on a flight, so he kept track of en route progress above extensive fog by counting the number of cigars he smoked. This was during a night airmail flight from Chicago to Hadley Field (New Jersey) in July 1925. One long stogy, Hill reckoned, lasted for 75 miles, and he always carried a pocketful of them.

I would love to fly by Flying Boat into Havana one day in the future! Sort of like bringing back a long forgotten method of transportation. Tampa to Havana, wow, think it will happen in my lifetime?

Great job, Prez. The feeling of that era is something that many of us recall from time to time.

How old were you when you took them?

These are awesome!

I've always enjoyed looking at flyers and photos of the big old flying boats that Pan Am used to run throughout the Pacific.

Nice photos. There is (or was recently) an exhibition in sydney (maritime museum?) called the golden age of flying boats, if i remember correctly. I didn't get there, but saw a few snippets on tv, apparently a single ticket from australia to europe cost an average australians yearly income :-| While i'm sure it was a nice was to travel, i'm glad air travel is cheaper these days ;-)

[El Presidente]

These were supplied to me by Jose. Next week I will post some photos of pre revolutionary Havana.

To start with, Have a look at these great images which really take you back to the period of 1920/21.
