The Pangborn-Herndon Memorial Site is a monument in (present-day) East Wenatchee, Washington, dedicated to Clyde Pangborn and Hugh Herndon, Jr., the two men who made the first non-stop flight across the Pacific Ocean.
They departed from Misawa, Japan, on October 4, 1931, and landed near this site 41 hours later.
[2] The memorial, by artist Walter Graham, is northeast of East Wenatchee and consists of a 14-foot-high (4.3 m), 14-ton (13 t) basalt column atop a concrete base.
The column is topped by 36-inch (91 cm) wings made of aluminum.
This was in an unincorporated area in 1931, but the town of Wenatchee, Washington, was nearby.
