The roles of the brothers were defined as follows: John and Kenneth were the pilots of record plane the City of Chicago, while Albert and Walter worked as the refuelling crew in the Big Ben. Together, they remained airborne for 553h 41m 30s, on a distance equivalent to one and a half times around the world.
Taking off from Sky Harbour Airport, USA, on June 11, the City of Chicago, a Stinson-Detroiter aircraft, landed on July 4, 1930, at the same location, eventually forced to land because of technical issues.
