The historic aviation challenge on July 22, 1933, was triumphantly realized by the legendary pilot Wiley Post. His exceptional journey lasted 7 days, 18 hours, and 49 minutes, during which an impressive 25,099 kilometers were covered.
A navigator and explorer, Post demonstrated exceptional flying skills, flying through 13 different countries and landing at a total of 7 airports. His monoplane "Winnie Mae" became a symbol of technological progress and human spirit at that time.
Supported by his colleagues Herbert Hopkins and John Murray, Post not only set a new world record but also expanded the understanding of aviation possibilities. His achievement ended with a landing at Floyd Bennett Field in New York, becoming a turning point for the future of international aviation.
This epic flight inspired generations of pilots and engineers, demonstrating the boundless potential of human curiosity and technological advancement.
