Back of this photo reads Lt. Harding and Sgt Ralph Anderson. Purchased from the estate of a famous Nashville family. Harding made the first around-the globe journey by an airplane. Harding, while in the service, was one of eight aviators chosen to attempt this flight. The two-seater biplanes, named Boston, Chicago, New Orleans and Seattle took off on April 6th, 1924 from Washington State to cross the Pacific. Harding was a mechanic and co-pilot on the New Orleans. Only the Chicago and New Orleans completed the trip. Harding returned to Seattle on Sept 28, having flown 27,000 miles.
Harding was the great-great grandson of John Harding, the founder of Belle Meade. Harding was also related to the Polk family. See Polk's Folly by William R Polk.
