    Description

    Original vintage Wire Photo shows the German flying boat “Nordmeer” after landing at Manhasset Bay New York. Looks like German flight crew was picked up by this American speedboat for transport to shore.
    See full caption attached to far right of photo.
    The Blohm & Voss Ha 139 was a German all-metal inverted gull wing floatplane. With its four engines it was at the time one of the largest float-equipped seaplanes that had been built.
    The aircraft were flown by Deutsche Luft Hansa on transatlantic routes between 1937 and 1939, predominately between Bathurst, The Gambia and Natal, Brazil. Catapult-launched from an aircraft tender they were able to transport 500 kg of mail over a distance of up to 5,000 km.
    Photograph measures 7 x 11 inches and is in fair condition with bends, creases and stains plus airbrushing (see scans). Photo date stamped AUG 16 1937
