EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historic photograph, the United States Navy's Destroyer DD-293, USS Billingsley, is seen assisting a damaged Douglas World Cruiser float-plane, 23-1231 (msn 147) Boston, near the Faroe Islands in 1924. The USS Billingsley came to the aid of the stricken aircraft after it was forced down and sustained damage beyond repair during an attempt to circumnavigate the globe by the US Army. The Douglas World Cruiser was a series of five float-planes specifically designed and built for this ambitious endeavor. The planes, which were equipped with floats to enable takeoff and landing on water, were a significant advancement in aviation technology at the time. The successful completion of the global flight in 1924 marked a major milestone in the history of aviation and demonstrated the capabilities of both the US Army and the US Navy in the field of aeronautics. The USS Billingsley, a Flush Decker destroyer commissioned in 1919, was one of several US Navy vessels that provided support to the US Army's aviation efforts during this period. The destroyer's presence in the vicinity of the Faroe Islands was likely due to its role in protecting US naval interests in European waters during the interwar period. This photograph captures a moment in history when the US Navy and US Army worked together to overcome a challenging situation and advance the boundaries of aviation technology. The image serves as a testament to the ingenuity, determination, and teamwork of the men and women who made this groundbreaking achievement possible.
