In 1930, Albert, John, Walter and Kenneth Hunter set the World Endurance Flight Record of 553 hours, 41 minutes and 30 seconds over Chicago. They visited Los Angeles with their monoplane, City of Chicago, a large yellow and blue Stinson-Detroiter and the refueling ship, Big Ben. Their record was later broken by the Key Brothers.
This photograph is likely related to the article, "Flying Hunters Given Welcome, Four Endurance Champions Land at City Airport, Will Make Next Test Flight Here, They Declare, Officials and Large Throng Extend Greetings," Los Angeles Times, 23 Jul. 1930: A1.
Kenneth Hunter sits at a small table and speaks into a microphone. A crowd of people, including his brothers, stand behind him. Standing at the far left, from left to right, are Kenneth, Albert, and Walter Hunter.
