German Plane Flew Blindly Through Icebound Skies to Newfoundland
The Bremen monoplane flew 400 miles without lights and read instruments by feel, entering near Greenly Island after a blizzard thinned its path. Baron von Huenefeld and Captain Kockl survived, landed on an ice pond, and were aided by Grenfell mission nurse Greta Ferris who described the peril and cordial reception at the scene. The crew planned to proceed to New York, with their plane later to Halifax for repairs.
