Herbert Paus Popular Science cover, March 1930
This cover illustration by American commercial artist Herbert Paus shows Germany’s giant flying boat, the Dornier Do-X, cruising over New York City. It was entirely conjectural: the plane left its home port of Altenrhein, Switzerland for America in November 1930, but didn’t reach New York until almost 10 months later, on August 27, 1931.
