From July 13 to July 30 1929, Dale Jackson and Forest O'Brine flew nonstop over and around St Louis in their Curtiss Robin. A second Robin provided inflight refueling, engine oil, food and a break in the routine of living in the small cockpit. A catwalk was provided so the engine could be serviced and adjusted but impressively, the WW1 era engine ran without issues for the whole 420 hours.
