Publisher's Synopsis

On 14 June, 1919 John Alcock and Arthur Whitten Brown took off from Newfoundland in their open-cockpit Vickers Vimy converted bomber to attempt a non-stop crossing of the Atlantic. Some 16 hours later they landed in Connemara, Ireland, to become national heroes. Here, Brendan Lynch discusses one of the most significant flights in history.
