ICC Digital is proud to present, on this day 12th April 2021, to mark “The Flight Of The Bremen” – a celebration of the flight from Baldonnel Airport in Dublin, to New York on the 12 April 1928, which was the first East to West Transatlantic Flight. Onboard were Ehrenfried Günther Freiherr von Hünefeld, a wealthy German aristocrat, pilot Captain Hermann Köhl and Irish navigator Major James Fitzmaurice.

Peter Power Hynes, the Irish Cultural Centre’s Chairman, is an avid collector, who has over the years collected a staggering amount of archive photographs and memorabilia on the flight of the Bremen. In this short film Peter Power Hyne’s tell the story of the Bremen.
