About Miss Veedol
From Wikipedia:
The Miss Veedol was the name of the plane carrying the first pilot to fly non-stop across the Pacific Ocean.
On October 5, 1931, Clyde Pangborn with co-pilot Hugh Herndon landed his plane, the Miss Veedol, in the hills of East Wenatchee and became the first person to fly non-stop across the Pacific Ocean. The 41 hour flight from Sabishiro Beach, Misawa, Aomori Prefecture, Japan won him the 1931 Harmon Trophy, symbolizing the greatest achievement in flight for that year.
