  • Sir John William Alcock (1892-1919) and Sir Arthur Whitten Brown (1886-1948) made the first non-stop flight across the Atlantic on 14th-15th June 1919, flying from St John's, Newfoundland and crash-landing in a bog near Clifden, Galway, Ireland. They were knighted by King George V on their return. (http://www.nmsi.ac.uk/piclib/imagerecord.asp?id=10321970)
  • The first were Alcock and Brown, who flew from an airfield near St.John's in Newfoundland and crashed in a bog in Galway, Ireland. They did this with a Vicker Vimy. It didn't have a trim, so it was a tough flight. The first non-stop solo-flight across the Atlantic Ocean was made by Charles Lindenberg in 1927 with the Ryan NYP "Spirit of St.Louis" an incredibly unstable and hard to pilot aircraft. He took off from New York and landed in Paris. The flight took about 33hours.
