    Curtiss Thrush NR7568 c/n G-1 "Outdoor Girl" was used by Frances Harrell Marsalis and Helen Richey as receiver aircraft in an endurance record in 12.33. Note the protective plates fitted at the inboard ends of the ailerons to prevent fouling by the hose or its attachments and which ended an earlier attempt.
    Het Vliegveld 22.8.32: American women-pilots Mrs Frances Marsalis and Louise Thaden, who have taken to the air on 14th August, land after 196 hours continuous flying, beating the female endurance record of 122 hours 50 minutes set by Mrs Trout and Cooper. The absolute endurance record is since July 1931 held by the Hunter brothers.
    Het Vliegveld 22.8.32: Frances Harrell Marsalis and Louise Thaden set the new world women's endurance record of 196 hr 5 min 8 sec between 1400 hrs on 14.8.32 and 1805 hrs on 22.8.32 from Curtiss Field, Long Island, NY, in the process flying some 17,000 miles! They used Curtiss Thrush J NR9142 c/n G-3 (300 hp Wright J-6-7 radial) and made 77 refuelling contacts with their 'tanker" Curtiss C-1 Robin NR82H c/n 434. The flight was sponsored by the I J Fox Fur Company whose advertising was painted on the aircraft. An earlier attempt commencing 12.8.32 had to be abandoned after 18 hours when the refuelling hose caught in the Thrush's aileron and tore off the left wingtip. Marsalis and Helen Richey broke this record in December 1933 with 237 hr 42 min in another Curtiss Thrush J, NR7568 "Outdoor Girl" c/n G-1 (see photo).
