In the morning of June 17, 1928, an orange Fokker F7 airplane Otook off from Trepassey in Newfoundland. Its crew had arrived from Boston more than 12 days earlier and had been waiting for the right weather conditions to permit them to set off on the second stage of their trip. The airplane, named the Friendship, had been designed to fly over land, but more recently its wheels had been exchanged for pontoons to enable it to take off and land on water. Day after day of fog and rain had stranded the crew at Trepassey, and they had spent the time making adjustments to their plane, playing cards, and trying to enjoy sightseeing in the cold and damp weather. The crew had only one map to study, and they carefully examined the passage of storms and weather systems across their charted journey until finally conditions made it seem possible that they could complete their trip—a trip that would take them across the Atlantic Ocean.
