Large Picture Comments: This famous aircraft is preserved in excellent condition in the terminal at Bremen Airport. It made the first successful transatlantic aeroplane flight from east to west between April 12 and April 14, 1928. The Bremen left Baldonnel on April 12 and flew to Greenly Island, Canada, arriving on April 14, 1928, after a flight fraught with difficult conditions and compass problems. The crew consisted of pilot Captain Hermann Köhl; the navigator, Major James Fitzmaurice, and the owner of the aircraft, Ehrenfried Günther Freiherr von Hünefeld. Now owned by the Henry Ford Museum but on loan to the City of Bremen.
