This stamp issued by Lithuania in 1934 commemorates the non-stop flight by Steven Darius (Steponas Darašius) (1896-1933) and Stasys Girénas (1894-1933) from Floyd Bennet Field in New York on July 15, 1933. They flew in a Bellanca CH-300 Pacemaker with elongated wings and extra fuel tanks. They crashed near the village of Kuhdamm, Near Soldin, Germany, now Pszczelnik, Poland, 650 Km short of their destination, Kaunas.

     The maps on either side of the stamp show the origin of the flight on the left and the destination on the right. The words ST. DARIUI IR ST. GIRÉNUI PAMINÉTI at the bottom of the design is probably a commemoration of the two fliers. (If anyone can supply a translation I would appreciate having it.) The two ships in the picture in the center of the stamp are unidentified.
