DescriptionBremen flyers feted in Chicago and upon arrival back in Berlin: an unusual pair of uprated postal cards, likely, the message and answer portions of the same reply card that was first mailed from Chicago on the day the aviators had visited the city (May 12, 1928), and then returned from Berlin to Chicago on the day they returned to Germany.
An interesting piece of aviation ephemera. In 1928, an international German-Irish crew (Herrman Kohl, pilot, James FitzMaurice, co-pilot, Ehrenfried v. Hunefeld, flight leader) made the first non-stop flight from Europe to North America in Junkers W33 Bremen. Staring from Ireland, they made a forced landing at Greenley Island, between Quebec and Labrador. The aviators were awarded Distiguished Flying Crosses by President Coolidge, and were feted in several cities across the North America. One of the largest crowds had greeted them in Chicago.
