Clarence Chamberlin – American Transatlantic Aviator & Endurance Record Contender – Vintage Press Photo

This original vintage press photograph captures Clarence Chamberlin, one of America’s pioneering aviators and a key figure in the early years of transatlantic flight. Chamberlin, who famously completed the second nonstop transatlantic flight in 1927—shortly after Charles Lindbergh—was renowned for his daring long-distance flights and record-setting ambitions.

The typed press caption on the reverse notes Chamberlin’s recent attempt to break the world endurance flying record, missing it by only one hour and planning another try in the near future. This image likely dates to the late 1920s, during his height of fame, and reflects both his determination and the public’s fascination with aviation feats during the Golden Age of Flight.

A superb addition to any aviation history collection, particularly for those interested in the competitive spirit of interwar record-breaking pilots.
