The Bremen was the first aircraft to fly nonstop from Europe to North America. Hermann Kohl, Ehrenfried Guenther von Huenefeld, and James Fitzmaurice took off from Baldonnel, Ireland, on April 12, 1928, and touched down on Greenly Island, Canada, the next day. The east-to-west crossing, made against prevailing winds, was more difficult than a flight from North America to Europe.

The aircraft was a 1928 Junkers W33 built in Dessaur by Junkers Aircraft andEngine Works, Ltd. It now resides in the Henry Ford collection in Dearbord, Michigan, USA.
