Lt. Wade became a test pilot after the world flight. When WWII started he re-enlisted at the same rank as his fellow officers. He was sent to Greece to prevent the migration of communism and Retired as a Major General. General Wade is also known to be the first to drive cross country non-stop (in a Packer). The non-stop drive ended in New York city. The details of this first non-stop transcontinental drive is not well known to historians. At the time, it was a famous event for the durability of the Packer and endurance of the drivers. To date no one has accomplished this feat.
First flight around the world
Quite interesting trip, 4 planes departed for it; the Boston crashed in Alaska, another went down in the Atlantic and then 3 planes crossed the USA to Seattle. did they reproduce in flight? --

Sort of. One of the test planes, that hadn't been part of the original four, joined the expedition in Canada. That brought the total number of planes back up to 3, though only two had made the circumnavigation. If you read the article carefully it's pretty clear, though maybe it should be clearer.

This article is overwhelmingly about the US 1924 circumnavigation, and should be renamed to reflect that. The Australian cross-equator circumnavigation (which was a true circumnavigation) should be separated into a separate article.
