Excerpt from the Harbour Grace Airport Trust Company’s official logbook which lists the number of miles travelled between each location during the around-the-world flight attempt of the Pride of Detroit, 1927. A handwritten caption provides information on the flight’s cancellation: “The flight was called off here [Tokyo, Japan] as hazard was thought too great to strike Midway Islands.”
