About the Douglas World Cruiser

After the successful crossings of the Atlantic in 1919 by the US Navy's NC-4 and the British Vickers Vimy, the next venture was naturally to circumnavigate the globe by airplane. When the US Army Air Service put out a requirement for an aircraft suitable to fly around the world, the Douglas Aircraft Company responded with a modification of their DT torpedo bomber, the Douglas World Cruiser (DWC). Five of these aircraft were ordered, one for testing and training, and four for the actual expedition. The design of the World Cruiser was a sturdy, two- seater biplane with a span of 15 meters. The aircraft did not have radios or advanced navigational aids, only the standard rudimentary flight instrumentation of that time.
