Caption:
Alcock and Brown's aeroplane after completing the first non-stop transatlantic flight, 1919. British aviators John William Alcock (1892-1919) and Arthur Whitten Brown (1886-1948) flew a Vickers-Vimy-Rolls bomber between St John's in Newfoundland, Canada and Clifden in County Galway, Ireland on 14-15 June 1919. The flight took 16 hours and 27 minutes and won the aviators a £10,000 prize awarded by the Daily Mail newspaper. The aircraft is seen where it crash-landed, in Derrygimla bog near Clifden, being guarded by British troops.
