Adamowicz brothers - American industrialists, amateur aviators of Polish origin. Born in the Vilnius region, they emigrated to the USA before WWI. In New York, they established their own factory for cooling drinks, carbonated drinks and soda water. In 1928, they took their first ever flight in a tourist airplane and from then on became fascinated with aviation. They completed flying lessons and began buying airplanes. Their greatest achievement was a transatlantic flight between New York and Warsaw. They were the second Poles to fly over the Atlantic, after Stanislaw Skarzynski, who did it in V 1933, but the first to cross the North Atlantic. The brothers accomplished a daring and risky feat with their amateur pilot experience.
