Germany Weimar Bremen Flight PREUSS Kaiser-939 Plane MS62 PCGS silver medal 1928

This remarkable Germany Weimar Republic Bremen Flight silver medal, issued in 1928 and certified PCGS MS62, commemorates one of the most celebrated achievements of early aviation: the historic transatlantic flight of the aircraft Bremen. The medal honors the pioneering aviators who helped demonstrate the growing possibilities of long-distance air travel during the golden age of flight.

The obverse depicts the famous monoplane Bremen soaring above stylized ocean waves, symbolizing its groundbreaking journey across the Atlantic. The sleek aircraft is shown in side profile with detailed wings, fuselage, cockpit, landing gear, and propeller assembly, emphasizing the technological elegance of 1920s aviation. The reverse features the names of the flight crew—Hermann Köhl, Baron von Hünefeld, and James Fitzmaurice—arranged within a decorative wreath of oak leaves and acorns. At the center appears a propeller motif, while the oak wreath symbolizes courage, achievement, and endurance. Every element reflects the spirit of exploration and international cooperation that defined this historic flight.

In April 1928, the Bremen completed the first successful east-to-west non-stop transatlantic airplane crossing, overcoming adverse winds that had previously made such a journey extremely difficult. Piloted by Hermann Köhl, sponsored by Baron Ehrenfried Günther von Hünefeld, and navigated with the assistance of Irish aviator James Fitzmaurice, the flight became a landmark achievement in aviation history.

Struck in silver and certified PCGS MS62, this historic medal is highly desirable for collectors of aviation memorabilia, early flight history, transportation themes, and Weimar-era exonumia.
