EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Fokker T-2 Instrument Panel from 1923, a remarkable piece of aviation history. The wooden instrument panel, removed from the aircraft, features eight instruments securely fastened with screws. It was these basic instruments that allowed pioneers John Macready and Kelly Oakley to embark on their groundbreaking non-stop coast-to-coast flight in this very aircraft. Known for their daring "seat of the pants" flying style, Macready and Oakley relied solely on dead reckoning as they hugged the terrain during their epic journey from Long Island, New York to San Diego, California. Their record-breaking flight lasted an impressive 26 hours, 50 minutes and 48 seconds. The photograph not only captures a significant moment in American aviation but also serves as a testament to human ingenuity and determination. As we gaze at this relic of the past, we are reminded of the incredible advancements made in air transport during the early 20th century. Displayed within the National Air and Space Museum's collection at Smithsonian Institution's NASM (not affiliated with any commercial use), this object represents both technological progress and national pride. Its vibrant colors bring life to an era defined by innovation and exploration. As we admire this heritage art piece today, let us celebrate those who paved the way for modern aviation while honoring their spirit of adventure that continues to inspire us all.
