In 1928, the first east to west crossing of the Atlantic was made in a Junkers W.33 named "Bremen".  The crew was made up of two ex-war German flyers (Hermann Koehl & Baron Gunther Von Hunefeld) and James Fitzmaurice (an Irishman who had trained on Sopwith Camels as the war came to an end).   This book is made up of the three autobiographies of the crew.  Koehl was forced down and made a British prisoner of war but eventually escaped before the war's close.
