This Day in History:
January 7, 1929
Maj Carl Spaatz and Capt Ira Eaker land after setting an endurance record of 150 hr 40 min while flying a US Army Fokker over Los Angeles. The flight is significant from not only the endurance record set, but it was the first flight in which the inflight refueling of an a/c was accomplished.
