flying boat In Lake Michigan, off Grant park, at 6:10 Tuesday night after a 600-mile flight from Long Lake, Ontario, Canada. The famous German’s second trip to Chicago was completed almost a year to the day after his first. It made him the only man ever to fly twice from Germany to this city.

A great crowd of German-born Americans and their friends welcomed the captain and his crew. Hundreds of persons stood on the shoreline waving German and Amercan flags, as the big Dornier came to rest between a breakwater and a ramp.
