On November 26, 1959 Maximilian A. (Max) Conrad (1903-1979) set a General Aviation World Record in Piper Comanche N110LF powered then by a Lycoming O-360 180 horsepower engine for "Distance Without Landing" of 11,211.83 kilometers, or 6,966.75 miles flying from Casablanca, Morocco to El Paso, Texas USA solo non-stop non-refueled in 56 hours.
This record, which stands to this date, is recognized by the Federation Aeronautique Internationale (FAI) in sub-class C1-c (a weight-range class) of Group 1 Piston Engine (General Aviation aircraft).
Max Conrad set many solo World distance records with some 200 delivery flights-150 over the Atlantic Ocean and 30 over the Pacific Ocean.
He was an inspiring aviation hero of mine when I was learning to fly in 1965-1966 in Minnesota. Max Conrad Field in Winona, MN is named for him and he was inducted in the Minnesota Aviation Hall of Fame posthumously in 1991. He attained over 50,000 pilot-in-command flight hours in his lifetime. His motto was "Let's Fly!".
