เที่ยวบินข้ามมหาสมุทรแอตแลนติกตรงครั้งแรก

Flying a modified Vickers Vimy bomber, Alcock and Brown crossed 3,040 km of open Atlantic in dangerous conditions including fog, snow, and engine icing. They landed in a bog near Clifden, Ireland. Charles Lindbergh's more famous solo crossing came eight years later in 1927. Alcock and Brown won a 10,000 pound prize offered by the Daily Mail newspaper.
