At long last, recognition for the adventurers who first flew non-stop across the North Atlantic from east to west. Their aircraft was the German Junkers monoplane Bremen and they landed (crash-landed?) on Greenly Island between Labrador and the northern tip of Newfoundland—a long, long way from their destination. New York City. But they reached the continent of North America. Bremen is a book worth waiting for. Fred Hotson has done a bang-up Job. He has spent fifty years or more in aviation and is author of The De Havilland Canada Story (Canav, 1983). Exhaustive research has resulted in a volume replete with photos, maps, diagrams. Index and an erudite discussion of early blind flying. This book deserves a place in the world history of pioneer aviation.
