At 21 years of age, and with only a few hours flying experience, he flew from Berlin to Moscow and continued around the world.Another adventurer was a speed loving English lady, the Honourable Mrs. Victor Bruce, who, with only a few weeks flying experience, set off in 1930 and flew around the world in her small biplane.Also a German lady pilot, Elly Beinhorn, also in a Klemm, flew around the world in 1931.
