Will Rogers, left, and aviator Frank Hawks at one of the stops during Rogers’ flying tour of dozens of cities and towns in Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Texas over a twenty-two day period in January-February 1931 to raise funds to help families devastated by the depression. Hawks, a record-setting pilot for Texaco, flew Rogers between most of his stops, sometimes as many as four a day. (Photo courtesy of the Will Rogers Museum)
