Havana was the next stop on the dedication program. At 10:45 a. m., a little later than the same hour the maiden Clipper took wing 20 years ago—two giant four-engined Clippers roared in- to the air for the 90-mile flight to Havana, a trip of less than 30 minutes, in contrast to the 1927 time of an hour and a quarter. A corresponding monument was uneviled at Ranchos Boyeros Airport in Havana by Governor Caldwell, who stressed the fact that 20 or more daily Clipper flights between the Cuban capi- tal and Florida had brought the two nations closer together in friendship, culture and com- merce. Virtually every one of Key West’s leading citizens were on hand at Meacham Field before the ceremonies began. The Key West High School delegation and band were on hand and ren- dered several selections before the dedication got under way. At a few minutes before 9 a. m., a 52-place Clipper arrived at the Airport, bringing Landis, Caldwell, Brig. Gen.
