The last departure of the Hungarian Lockheed 8A Sirius. As NR115W Justice for Hungary, it had been flown across the Atlantic by György Endresz and navigator Sandór Magyar in July 1931. It became HA-AAF in Hungary. On 21 May 1932 Endresz and Gyula Bittay, who had replaced Magyar, went to Italy to attend the Congress of Transoceanic Airmen, but they lost their lives crashing the Sirius at Rome - Littorio (now Urbe). There was public mourning in Rome and Air Minister Italo Balbo, himself a transoceanic airman, presented Hungary with a rather less modern plane, the Fiat BR.3 HA-AAF Giustizia per l'Ungheria.

György Endresz (George Endres) and Sandór Magyar flew across the Atlantic in this plane in July 1931 via Harbour Grace, Newfoundland. It was by then named Justice for Hungary, reflecting how badly Hungarians felt treated in the Versailles treaties. It was funded largely by Emil Salay of the Flint Sausage Works of Flint, Michigan. To HA-AAF in Hungary. Photo from: Jenőné Czapáry / Fortepan
