Initially based on German planes and launchers, the Soviets experimented extensively from the late 1920s until 1950. Their interest then waned and attention turned to ship-based helicopters. “Brick” Eisel and Daniel Watkins retell the story of the famous 1924 round-the-world flight by the U.S. Army Air Service Douglas World Cruisers. Their interest was sparked by the chance discovery, in a storage area of the Air Force Art Collection, of the Collier Trophy awarded for that historic flight. A year ago, on March 27, 2002, the trophy was reunited with other artifacts of the famous flight housed at the U.S. Air Force Museum, Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio. On June 14, 1943, when a B-17C Flying Fortress, operated as a transport, crashed at Baker’s Creek, Australia, killing forty American GIs aboard, the news was suppressed because of wartime exigencies. The accident was little known for about fifty years, until some Australians and Americans, including author Robert Cutler, began to investigate. Cutler’s interest was partly personal—in 1943, his father, the executive officer of the near- by U.S.
