TWO PIANOS...ONE FOR MRS COOLIDGE...AND SIX PASSENGERS CARRIED
BY ONE AIRPLANE FROM NEW YORK TO WASHINGTON.

S/46, 375/RU M. Sikorsky, the Russian inventor and builder of the
plane, plays tune on one of the two baby grand pianos
at Bolling Field, Washington, D.C., seated beside the
big twin-engine Sikorsky biplane which transported
the two musical instruments and six passengers as well,
from Roosevelt Field, Long Island, N.Y.

The Sikorsky plane, first ever to transport a pianom was built by
a group of Russian refugees, working on their Sundays
and Saturday afternoons, with capital contributed almost
dollar by dollar, from their wages earned in restaurants,
dress-making establishments, etc.

It is planned to operate a regular fast freight service of Sikorsky
planes between Boston and the Midwest. Col Harold
Hartney, U.S.A., R.C., famous wartime pilot, commanded the
plane.
