Jiří Hanzelka and Miroslav Zikmund

Jiří Hanzelka and Miroslav Zikmund – two engineers who became famous due to their around-the-world journey in a Tatra 87 car. Between 1948–50, these two travellers visited 42 countries in Europe, Africa and Latin America. Czechoslovak Radio broadcast reports from these travels and continued to do so even two years after Hanzelka and Zikmund had returned home. The picture dates from 1958, when the two adventurers were getting ready for their second journey.
