I don't remember exactly who his competitors were but I remember his plane was built by Ryan Aircraft in San Diego.
EDIT: Oh, and when he took off he cleared the telephone line by only something like 20 feet because the plane was so weighted down with fuel. During his flight, at times he was as little as like 50 feet over the ocean and he began having halucinations too. I remember most of it.
