Used for two eastbound transatlantic crossings in 1931 and 1934. The first was flown by Capt Holger Hoérüs with passenger Otto Hillig, of Liberty, NY, who owned it. The plane was named after the town. The destination was Copenhagen but fog forced a diversion to Germany. The second flight was by Polish brothers Bolesław and Jozef Adamowicz. NR797W remained in Poland after the flight. Photo by: Rudy Arnold / Smithsonian Institution This photo was added on 17 June 2023, and has since been viewed 401 times.
