Almost nobody remembers the three men who, a year later, flew the Atlantic the hard way &mdash; against the wind, from Europe to America &mdash; and nearly died doing it. Their aircraft was called the Bremen, and their forgotten flight was in many ways a braver piece of airmanship than the one that made Lindbergh a legend.<\/p>\r\n<p>On 12 April 1928 they lifted off from a field outside Dublin. Thirty-six hours later they came down on a frozen pond on a tiny island off the coast of Canada, with barely two hours of fuel left &mdash; and made history.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<div style=\"background:#f5f5f5;padding:20px 24px;margin:24px 0;border-radius:8px\">\r\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 10px;font-weight:700;font-size:18px;color:#333\">Quick Facts<\/p>\r\n<ul style=\"margin:0;padding-left:18px;line-height:1.8\">\r\n<li><strong>Aircraft:<\/strong> the Bremen, a Junkers W 33 monoplane<\/li>\r\n<li><strong>Achievement:<\/strong> first non-stop east-to-west aeroplane crossing of the Atlantic<\/li>\r\n<li><strong>Dates:<\/strong> 12&ndash;13 April 1928; about 36.5 hours in the air<\/li>\r\n<li><strong>Crew:<\/strong> Hermann K\u00f6hl, Baron von H\u00fcnefeld, and James Fitzmaurice<\/li>\r\n<li><strong>From \/ to:<\/strong> Baldonnel, Dublin to Greenly Island, Canada<\/li>\r\n<li><strong>Why it was hard:<\/strong> flown against the prevailing Atlantic headwinds<\/li>\r\n<li><strong>The aircraft:<\/strong> survives, preserved at Bremen Airport<\/li>\r\n<\/ul><\/div>\r\n\r\n<h2 style=\"padding-top:22px\">The frontier after Lindbergh<\/h2>\r\n<p>Lindbergh had crossed from New York to Paris in 1927, riding the prevailing west-to-east winds.

Then, around 900 miles from Newfoundland, the weather closed in and the compasses began to misbehave. The Bremen was blown far off its intended course, groping blind over a grey ocean and then a white wilderness of ice and rock. When the fuel gauges dropped toward empty, K\u00f6hl put the aircraft down on a frozen pond beside a lighthouse on Greenly Island, off the Labrador coast.
