Joseph Baillargeon Douglas World Cruisers Photograph Collection

The Joseph Baillargeon Douglas World Cruisers Photograph Collection contains 33 black-and-white photographs of Douglas World Cruisers in Alaska during the 1924 around-the-world flight. The aircraft are depicted in flight, on the ground, and afloat in an Alaskan harbor, likely in April 1924. In most of the aircraft images it is difficult to know which specific plane is depicted as the views are often obscured or seen from a distance. Some images include unidentified individuals, including the pilots and local people. All photographs are 3 x 5 inches. No captions are present to provide contextual information.

Digitized Materials: Thirty-two of the photographs have been digitized. One duplicate image has not been digitized.
