On August 10, 1925, two barnstorming pilots from Hicker's Ranch, Nebraska, arrived on Long Island to begin a very special project.Their goal was to capture the Raymond Orteig Prize, $25,000 for making aviation history.
They found financial backing, a builder, and a dusty, mice-ridden hangar to call their headquarters.
The next step was not so simple.
It had to do with flying across the Atlantic.
