Up for auction is a remarkable piece of aviation history: a rare black & white photo capturing the crew members of the legendary "Bremen" celebrating their historic transatlantic flight in 1928. Measuring 4 1/8" X 3 3/16", this captivating image shows Captain Hermann Köhl, Major James Fitzmaurice, and Baron Ehrenfried Günther Freiherr von Hünefeld riding on the back of a convertible car and waving to the crowd in Germany. The photo originates from a German resident residing in Chicago who had family living in Germany, adding a personal and historical connection to its provenance. This is a unique opportunity to own a piece of aviation memorabilia commemorating one of the most significant achievements in flight history. Stay tuned for more photos and letters from the same collection, available in separate auctions. Don't miss your chance to own a piece of history!

I also have a small picture taken in 1935 of a rally of very prominent high-ranking Germans at Lustgarten. I'll be selling in a separate auction.
