João Ribeiro de Barros and his crew of three made an Atlantic crossing in S.55 "Jahú" on 24 April 1927. Departing from Santiago Island, they crossed the Atlantic and landed at Fernando de Noronha Island, Brazil. The original S.55 "Jahú" was part of the impressive collection of the Museu Asas de um Sonho (Wings of a Dream Museum), or better known as TAM Museum, which existed between 2006 and 2016. As many as 243 S.55s were built and this is the only surviving example in the world. This photo is copyright © Wim Sonneveld, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
