Aboard were the world's most powerful catapult and two sleek new Dornier all-metal flying boats, the Aeolus and Zephir. High-winged monoplanes with sponsons, powered by two Junkers Diesel engines in tandem on the wing-top, they weigh ten tons, have a cruising speed of 135 m.p.h. Anchoring 100 miles off Horta, the Schwabenland prepared to send one plane non-stop to New York, the other to Bermuda, then to New York. Reason the start was from the Azores is that Lufthansa regards...
