Give my regards to Q W Ficklin, Gen Plt Mgr Bpb Campbell, Toll Cable Splicer W E Liggett Engineering Dept. Hinton achieved fame as one of the two pilots, along with Elmer F. Stone, of the Curtiss NC flying boat NC-4, the first aircraft to make a transatlantic flight, in May 1919. After the successful completion of this journey, he was made a knight of the Order of the Tower and Sword by the Portuguese government on 3 June 1919. As a member of the NC-4 crew, he was awarded the Navy Cross and later received a Congressional Gold Medal in 1929. Hinton's aeronautic adventures during the 1920s include exploring the Arctic by balloon, and a wayward flight from Rockaway, Queens to Moose Factory, Ontario in the winter, which caused a month-long hike to civilization. Hinton and Kloor wrote letters home which their families sold to newspapers describing the flight, which prompted the Navy to start enforcing rarely used censorship rules. Hinton made the first flight from North America to South America on the second try he floated on a wing in shark infested waters off Cuba for a while at the end of the first try and explored the Amazon Rainforest by hydroplane.
