The "List of Stores" is not attached to the Hughes manifest, but we can speculate on what he carried based on his advance requests for the landing sites. Detailed in his flight operations manual, at Paris, Hughes asked for "15 gallons of Poland water in one or one half gallon bottles with unbroken seals, 12 quarts of pasteurized milk in one quart sealed bottles, 3 lbs. of fried chicken, 15 lbs. of dry ice, 5 gallons of hot coffee, ready to be poured in ship's thermos bottles, 5 hot dinners, individually packed, consisting of lamb chops, baked potatoes, and fresh string beans, and a container of coffee" along with oil, gasoline, and spare parts.
