Lamphier Thomas Junior (w2173)
- Description: In 1949, Major Lamphier Thomas Junior of the American army set a new record by completing the journey described by Jules Verne in just 4 days and 23 hours. To highlight the Air Force Association's aviation awareness campaign, he circled the globe using scheduled airlines, covering 22'140 miles in under five days. Carrying a letter from President Harry Truman to commemorate the Wright brothers' first flight's 46th anniversary, he collected postmarks from 12 countries. Upon his return, the letter was presented to the Kill Devil Hills Memorial Association to honor the Wright brothers' aviation milestone at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina
