EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historic photograph, taken in 1919, Captain John Alcock (left) and Lieutenant Arthur Brown (right) are seen receiving the prize of 10,000 pounds from Sir Winston Churchill for their groundbreaking achievement of being the first to fly non-stop across the Atlantic Ocean. The successful transatlantic flight took place on June 14-15, 1919, in a modified Vickers Vimy bomber named "The Star of Canada." The daring aviators had departed from Newfoundland, Canada, and landed in Clifden, Ireland, after a grueling 16.5-hour journey. The presentation of the prize took place at the Savoy-Plaza Hotel in New York City, where a jubilant crowd had gathered to celebrate the aviators' triumph. Sir Winston Churchill, then the British Secretary of State for War and Air, presented the prize money to Alcock and Brown in recognition of their remarkable achievement. The flight not only marked a significant milestone in aviation history but also paved the way for the development of long-distance air travel. The image captures the excitement and anticipation of the moment as Alcock and Brown are greeted by Churchill, who would go on to become one of the most influential political figures of the 20th century. The photograph is a testament to the spirit of adventure and innovation that characterized the early days of aviation and serves as a reminder of the remarkable achievements of these pioneering aviators. This photograph is a valuable historical record of an important moment in aviation history and offers a fascinating glimpse into the past. It is a testament to the courage and determination of Alcock and Brown and their groundbreaking achievement, which continues to inspire generations of aviators and adventurers.
