Thuiskomst eerste Indiëvliegers

Summary

Reportage about the homecoming of the Dutch East Indies pilots.

“28 April 1925 – A great day for aviation”. This is how this film begins, a film about the homecoming of the Dutch East Indies pilots Van Weerden Poelman, Van der Hoop, and Van den Broeke. After their heroic flight to the Dutch East Indies, they returned to Europe by ship. The last part of the journey, from Paris, was made by plane. At Schiphol airport, a grand welcome awaits them. This is followed by a tour through an equally enthusiastic Amsterdam.
