That they had something like this in 1929 when the Wright brothers had made their first short flight merely 26 years before is amazing. In 1909 it was considered a great feat when Bleriot crossed the English Channel Charles Lindbergh made his solo Atlantic crossing in 1927, merely two years before this.

DAS haben viele andere Länder zu diesem Zeitpunkt nicht geschafft. Gute deutsche Wertarbeit und Technik halt. BRAVO ! PS: Na da haben die Amis aber geglotzt als die DO-X so einfach mal in New York wasserte. Das hat mir am besten gefallen, hielten sich ja sonst für die Größten, HÄHÄHÄ!!!

All very romantic, but I still prefer modern aviation. Flying back then was only available to the exorbitantly rich, the 1% of the 1%. With an appaling safety record too. They had a fire, patched it up and kept going! Totally unthinkable in today's world. I'm glad that I live in a time where a human life is worth a lot more.

Other famous aviators have occasionally visited Captain Christiansen on the island - e.g. B. Ernst Udet (next to the "Red Baron" Manfred von Richthofen) he was the only one, who could lift a handkerchief from the airfield with the wing of his plane. ;-)

It´s true, however sad. Boatplanes would have never been made had there been enough land airports back in the ´30´s. When land airstrips became widely available worldwide (courtesy of WWII), the uneconomical flying boat and all its romance became woefully obsolete. Yet, just as the blimp is coming back with new technology, perhaps new flying boats made of non-corroding synthetic materials could be made. But I doubt anyone will have the nerve to risk bankruptcy in such an uncertain venture......

Mein Gott, was für ein fantastisches Video. Ich hatte viel über dieses Flugzeug gehört. Ich hatte sogar einige Bilder von ihm gesehen. Aber ich hatte noch nie Videos von diesem Flugzeug gesehen. Ist zu schön !!!! Vielen Dank für das Video und die Glückwünsche zum Kanal ...... Umarmung aus Brasilien ...... My GOD, what a fantastic video. I had heard a lot about this airplane. I had even seen some images of him. But I had never seen videos of that Airplane. Is too beautiful !!!! Thank you very much for the video and congratulations on the channel ...... Hug from Brazil......
