Hello.
I've been to Lithuania soon after USSR collapsed. One of their banknotes was dedicated to the memory of Mr Darius and Mr Girenas. I was explained they were first Lithuanians to cross Atlantic by air early in the century.
No more details survived in my memory...
Regards,
Tony

They were from Chicago and their story is displayed in concourse A at Midway airport. I am attaching photos from that display.
