In June 1919 John Alcock and Arthur Whitten Brown made the first non-stop crossing of the Atlantic Ocean and became national heroes. Now published in paperback, this is the first accurate account of one of history s most significant and dramatic flights, made in an open-cockpit Vickers Vimy converted bomber. The author draws on the personal records and flying logbook of the pilots, and sets the story against the birth of manned power flight and the aftermath of World War One in Britain.
