EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the iconic American industrialist, aviator, and film producer Howard Hughes waving to adoring crowds during a ticker tape parade up Broadway in New York City on July 15,1938. The exhilaration of this moment is palpable as Hughes basks in the excitement and celebration surrounding his recent accomplishment - completing his flight around the world just one day prior. Standing next to him are Grover Whalen, President of the New York Worlds Fair, and Al Lodwick, Hughes' trusted flight manager and press agent. Together they form a formidable trio that played instrumental roles in orchestrating this historic event. The streets of Manhattan are filled with spectators eagerly awaiting a glimpse of this aviation pioneer. As ticker tape rains down from towering buildings above, Hughes waves enthusiastically from an open car window adorned with an American flag. The scene is electric; it encapsulates both the grandeur of early 20th-century New York City and the awe-inspiring achievements of Howard Hughes. This photograph not only immortalizes a significant moment in history but also serves as a testament to human ingenuity and determination. It symbolizes how one man's relentless pursuit of adventure can captivate an entire nation.
