“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.
