Text

Schneider being greeted by Colonel Richard Barnitz, manager of the Los Angeles municipal airport. Los Angeles; August 21, 1930. Breaking by over four hours the former junior east-to-west transcontinental flight record from New York to Los Angeles, Eddie Schneider, 18-year-old pilot, is shown here as he set his plane down for a new record of 29 hours, 41 minutes elapsed time. The former mark of 34 hours, 3 minutes, was held by the late Frank Goldsborough 19-year-old flyer who recently crashed to his death. After a rest, Schneider will attempt to lower the record in the opposite direction which Goldsborough also holds.
