First Crossing: The 1919 Trans-Atlantic Flight Of Alcock And Brown

The first to cross the Atlantic non-stop wasn't Charles Lindbergh, but two long-forgotten British officers. Captain John Alcock and Lieutenant Arthur Whitten Brown flew their flimsy wood and fabric Vickers Vimy from St. Johns, Newfoundland to Cliveden, Ireland on June 14-15, 1919-eight years before the "Lone Eagle." This is their story.
