Sources: (1) Oshkosh Daily Northwestern (Oshkosh, Wisconsin) dated August 28th, 1926: [Picture on top of Plane of (Captain) [Andre] Girier and Ordilly]:

"As the crow flies" (Captain) Girier and (Lieutenant) Ordilly, left and right above, cover the 1,580 miles between Moscow and Paris in a non-stop flight of 14 1-2 hours. This establishes, they claim, a record. They are seen here being greeted by their compatriots after the landing at Le Bourget, the Parish airport.
