The 'Bremen' Junkers W 33 leaves Baldonnel Aerodrome, Ireland, 12 April 1928, (1932). Germans Hermann Köhl and Ehrenfried Günther Freiherr von Hünefeld, and Irishman James Fitzmaurice made the first successful trans-Atlantic aircraft flight from East to West on 12-13 April 1928. They left Baldonnel and crossed the Atlantic Ocean, landing at Greenly Island on the south coast of Labrador, Canada. Even though they missed their intended destination, New York City, they were the first to cross the Atlantic by fixed-wing aircraft from Europe to America. From "Die Eroberung Der Luft", (The Conquest of the Air), cigarette card album produced by the Garbáty cigarette factory, 1932. Eugene and Moritz Garbáty, who were Jewish, were driven out of business by the Nazis in the late 1930s, and forced to sell their factory which lay empty for over 70 years. [Garbaty Cigarettenfabrik, Berlin-Pankow, 1932]
