Description
One of the most famous travelers since Marco Polo was in New Orleans today. He is James McVittie, Chicago industrialist, who has eaten chow dog in China-got shaved by a gooney bird on Wake Island - flew in the dirigible Hindenberg on her first commercial flight (she exploded on the second) - and who has been making most of the important "first flights" on commercial airlines since the 1920's.
