Thanks for this video! As another poster mentioned -there are streets in Massapequa Park named after Fitzmaurace and Von Huenfeld. Really cool to make the connection
My parents owned a house in Massapequa Park Long Island NY. We lived on 183 Von Huenfeld St. We lived between Koehl St. and Lindburgh St. a block after Koehl is Fitzmaurce Street. My parents owned the house from 1969 to 1989. I decided to look up who really was Von Huenfeld was and ended up watching this video. There is a landmark one block away from Lindburgh. There is 2 Schools, one located on Smith Street, However the corner of Smith Street is Second Ave. It was called Hawthorn School, now a Nassau County Police Academy and the other school located up north on Spruce Street is John P. Mckenna Junior High School, is now an Elementary School. Believe it or not the Schools landmark used to be an Airport in the 1930s and 1940s. It was called the Fitzmaurce Airport. I love your video and how you documented this. Wow, what an amazing story about the Three Musketeers. I had no idea until today about the history of the Three Musketeers of the Air. Thank you for posting this!!!
A few years after going on display in Grand Central Terminal, the Bremen airplane was transferred to the Smithsonian, where it was displayed in a former WWI army building on the south lawn of the Smithsonian Castle in Washington, D.C., but a few years later, the Bremen was transferred out of the Smithsonian so that they could get more airplanes inside. It’s next destination was the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan, where it stayed for another 60 years. In the 1990s, however, an association of aviation enthusiasts from the plane’s namesake of Bremen, Germany, reached an agreement for the Henry Ford Museum to loan them the Bremen on a long-term basis. Today, the Bremen is on display inside the terminal at Bremen Airport, but on its journey back to Bremen inside two German cargo planes, they made a diversion to dip their wings over Greenly Island before heading on their way.

Another good one, Looks like Bowling green play a prominent role in NYC history.
Thanks! I had the same thought when I started putting these together, "Wow, I am spending a lot of time filming in Bowling Green!"
