Fact of the day
Baron Friedrich Karl von Koenig-Warthausen lands at Hanover in a 20-horsepower Klemm light aircraft, fifteen months after leaving Berlin intending only to fly to Moscow. He kept extending the journey stage by stage through Persia, India, Siam, Japan and the United States until he had circled the world: 32,000 kilometres, as a novice pilot, in the smallest aircraft ever to do it.
