The Bremen is a German Junkers W 33 aircraft that made the first successful transatlantic aeroplane flight from east to west between April 12 and 13, 1928. Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/~2. On Wednesday 2nd May the flyers met the U.S. President Calvin Coolidge at the White House where they were presented with the US Distinguished Flying Cross, the first foreigners ever to have received the award. This was followed by an extensive tour of American cities. Everywhere they went they were met with adulation. Source: http://www.askaboutireland.ie/~3. "Heralded by shrieking whistles and ringing bells, the Bremen Flyers arrived at 1:30 o'clock this afternoon at the Milwaukee airport from Chicago. Thousands gathered to witness their arrival. After introductions, Baron Gunther Von Huenefeld, Capt. Hermann Koehl, and Maj. James Fitzmaurice, who will be Milwaukee's guests for 24 hours, were escorted to an open automobile and the line formed for a parade to the city." Source: The Lewiston Daily Sun, May 14, 1928, page 5.~4. Pathex logo appears at the end of the film.
