INTERESTING FACTS: Steponas Darius and Stasys Girėnas were Lithuanian pilots who flew across the Atlantic Ocean on July 15, 1933. This flight is ranked second only to that of Russell Boardman and John Polando, and ranked fourth in terms of duration of flight at the time. Although Darius and Girenas did not have navigational equipment and flew under unfavorable weather conditions, the flight was one of the most precise in aviation history. It equaled, and in some aspects surpassed, Charles Lindbergh's classic flight. The plane also carried the first Transtlantic air mail consignment in history.
