“FOKKER T-2″ PLANE 1ST NON-STOP COAST-COAST U. AIR ARMY SERVICE’S ” FOKKER T-2 ” AIRPLANE BEFORE THE WORLDS 1ST NON-STOP, COAST-COAST TRANS CONTINENTAL FLIGHT OF THE UNITED STATES AT ROCKWELL FIELD SAN DIEGO. CALIFORNIA DATED MAY 5+6,1923. ON THE ” FOKKER T-2 “. ARMY AIR SERVICE NON STOP COAST TO COAST. This Fokker was an airliner designed in the Netherlands in the early 1920s, with only two ever made, both for the United States Army Air Service and designated T-2. The aircraft made the first non- stop coast to coast flight of the continental United States in May 1923. In late 1922, Kelly and Macready made two attempts at the transcontinental flight. The first was made on 5 October 1922, departing San Diego, California for New York City. After 35 hours 18 minutes in the air, they were forced to abandon the attempt and land due to fog. This would have been a world duration record, but without a barograph on board, it could not be officially recognized by the FAI. Kelly and Macready tried again on 3 November, but this time engine trouble forced an emergency landing near Indianapolis after 25 hours 30 minutes. The following year, they made a long-duration flight over a closed circuit over Dayton, Ohio, remaining aloft for 36 hours, 14 minutes 8 seconds between 16 and 17 April. This established a new world duration record, but also a new distance record, weight record, and eight various airspeed records. On 2 May 1923, they set out from New York to attempt the transcontinental flight again, this time traveling in the opposite direction. 26 hours 50 minutes later, they landed in San Diego, having covered 4,034 km (2,521 mi). Their aircraft is preserved in the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum in Washington DC.

We will include printed copies of the research artifacts. We are limited to 12 images, so there are more artifacts than what is displayed here. This Army level prize consists of three parts. Top bar that indicated either Army level or Corps / department level competition and served as a brooch to affix the assembled device to the uniform. The top bar is squared ended and ornamented with oak leaves, and was always worn with this bronze clasp and an enameled planchet prior to WWII. The top bar or brooch is a pin back with a functional rotating clasp closure. The second portion consists of an intermediate clasp of crossed arms to indicate the type of weapon that was used to earn the award rifle, pistol, or, soon thereafter, automatic weapons. In this case it has crossed rifles. The third, lower piece is a planchet, that when enameled, told the arm or the type of service, in this case, blue for Infantry. The central design is a bow and a pair of arrows. The planchet consists of three concentric designs. 0625 in diameter, displays a compound bow and two crossed arrows, a symbol of marksmanship. Outside of that is a center ring, 015 in width, which displays 13 stars. An oak-leaf wreath executed in bronze surrounds the entire design, making the planchet 1-1/2 in width. The combatant arms had bronze stars with the ring enameled in blue for Infantry.
