Around the World Records

(First let me say, that the site: www.fly.to/wingnet is an amazing collection of around the world attempts.)

Caption reads :

To make a quick start for their venture, they flew in an aeroplane from New York to the Olompic, which had already left port. They have just arrived in Berlin.
