They flew from kottbus. Brandenburg Province, seventy miles southeast of here. be- ginning their short hop at 4:15 D. m. The Columbia was first sighted from this field about five o'clock. and shortly before 5:30 there arose great roar of welcome from the assembled thousands as Chamber lain circled the Field. The Ameri- can Flag was run up on the main flagstaff at the Airdrome. After having made his initial appearance at the field. he headed over Berlin proper in order to give the people who were waiting for him eagerly. a chance to catch glimpse of the Columbia. After he had circled over the city some time. he headed his plane back to the field and came down making a perfect land ing.
 Kottbus, June 6, (R-Favorable winds enabled the Columbia to ne- gotiate the open sea between Cape Race and the British Isles in twen- ey-one hours. Not until Chamber lain had entered the English Chan nel did the meteorological condi- tions turn unfavorable.

About 6:30 in the morning I observed We were rum ming low on fuel. 50 I decided to drop down for replenishment. Re- fuelling the petrol tanks was the most disagreeable job of the entire flight.
