Plans for 12 day world flight from San Francisco
In San Francisco during June 1940 Lieutenant Bert Hall, a noted war ace, announced a bold plan to circle the world in 12 days. The route would start with a hop from San Francisco to Tokyo, then to Singapore, across the Atlantic to the United States, and return to San Francisco. The journey, using a specially built monoplane carrying 3500 gallons of fuel and powered by three Wright motors, would occur between August and September. Hall expected to secure a custom aircraft from Boeing or Ford if needed, with L North, a San Francisco newspaperman, slated to accompany him on the daring flight.
