I have tracked down the details. Hughes’ first record was won in a Boeing 100A, a civilian version of the Army’s P-12B. This photo was taken inJanuary 1934. Hughes won the Sportsman Pilot Free-For-All. All- American Air Meet, averaging 185.7 mph over a 20-mile course. The airplane is currently owned by Kermit Weeks.
