10.000 Miles In A 2-Cylinder Motorglider in 1930.

I ran across another interesting old photo:

1930 Tom Thumb Plane/Glider Vintage Aviation Photo

Joseph Jones and Edwin Wingerton take off for South America in
their micro "pleasure plane".

Date: Nov 28, 1930

Bound for South American in a Tom Thumb airplane
Caldwell, N. J.... Joseph Jones and Edwin Wingerton taking off for
South America in their tiny plane-glider. Ten thousand miles of
land must unfold before them before they reach their destination.
It is a brave attempt considering the size of the plane. If the
flight is successful, it will establish a record for "pleasure
planes."


Does anyone have any additional information about this record attempt
or the aviators?
