Short Caption:
Rodgers' flight took him from New York in the northeast across the center of the country to the southwest and eventually California.
Description:
Calbraith Rodgers left Sheepshead Bay, New York, on September 17, 1911. After countless stops, delays, and accidents, he arrived in Pasadena, California, to a hero’s welcome 49 days later. As part of their Vin Fiz advertising campaign, Armour & Company produced this poster telling the story of Rodgers’ flight.
