German aviators Wolf Hirth and Oscar Weller stand proudly beside their remarkable 40hp Klemm L25aI monoplane, ready to embark on an audacious journey from Berlin to Chicago. Their ambitious plan involves navigating through treacherous terrains, starting with the Orkneys, Iceland, Greenland, and finally reaching Newfoundland. This transatlantic flight attempt showcases their unwavering determination and pioneering spirit. The image captures the essence of adventure and courage as these two men prepare themselves for an extraordinary challenge that would test both their skills as pilots and the capabilities of their aircraft. The propeller airplane stands tall in the background, symbolizing progress and innovation in air transport during that era. This photograph not only celebrates Hirth's and Weller's incredible achievement but also serves as a testament to human ingenuity in overcoming geographical barriers.
