Australian pilot Charles Kingsford Smith arrived in Los Angeles, with his navigator, Patrick Gordon Taylor on November 5, ending a journey from Brisbane. Taylor left Los Angeles on the night of the 6th. In a photograph in the Los Angeles Times, Taylor is seen wearing the same suit and necktie (5 Nov. 1934: 1). The banquet probably took place on the 5th.
