    I became aware of this airplane today 9/20/21
    This is the first very large flying boat. It had 12 engines. It flew for more than 22,000 miles on it's first long trip. It went from Germany to South America. Then to the USA. Anyway it was full of luxury for passengers. It had a crew of a dozen I believe.
    For those who like to fly, enjoy this as you please. I am open to discussion as well.
