LUFTWAFFE -ME108 Day &
Night 24h Rekordflugzeug E. Beinhorn
* Ellie Beinhorn planned a special kind of record flight in an ME BF 108!
She wanted to fly from Germany to Asia and back again in 24 hours! She therefore had 2 larger additional fuel tanks installed in her Messerschmitt!
* At 03.30 she took off from Gleiweitz, at 06.00 she had already flown over 5 countries and at 09.20 she had already reached the Bosporus on the Asian side, where she landed, refuelled in Yesilköy and after a 1 hour break she set off for home.
As this was to Berlin, she had to cover an incredible 450 kilometres more and then got caught in a bad weather front shortly before her destination (Lufthansa was already no longer flying).
Despite these difficulties, she landed in Berlin at 18.08 after 3470 kilometres!
Ernst Udet, her former flight instructor, greeted her in his well-known dry manner
with: "You did a very nice job"
