High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Ehrenfried Günther Freiherr von Hünefeld (May 1, 1892 February 5, 1929) was a German Aviation pioneer and initiator of the first trans-atlantic flight in East-West direction. Hünefeld was born in Königsberg, East Prussia, German Empire as the son of the owner of Braxeinswalde near Pr.Eylau, where he grew up. He was blind on his left eye and nearsighted on his right, his childhood was characterized by several serious diseases. After finishing school at Berlin, he started to study at the Berlin University and came in contact to the first flight pioneers at Berlin Johannisthal Air Field. At the beginning of World War I he volunteered to the German Air Service, but was rejected due to his poor health. After that he volunteered again as a motorcyclist and was wounded in September 1914 at Flanders, which led to a shortened left leg. Due to his handicaps he could not return to service and joined the German Diplomatic Service at Sofia, Constantinople and as an Imperial Vice Consul in the Netherlands.
