Selfridge Heritage Series

Brig. Gen. William Mitchell sits in a Curtiss R-6 biplane at Selfridge Field on or about Oct. 18, 1922, while participating in the National Airplane Races at Selfridge.

Maughan had flown at 248.5 miles per hour, but the official observers had not yet arrived at Selfridge to verify that feat.
