Alcock Atlantic Crossing Lieutenant Successful 1919
EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic photograph captures the moment of triumph for aviators Captain John Alcock and Lieutenant Arthur Brown as they stood victorious on Irish soil following their groundbreaking transatlantic flight in June 1919. The image, taken shortly after their successful crossing of the Atlantic Ocean, shows the two British heroes in high spirits, clad in their flying gear and holding a map, as they surveyed their achievement. The daring duo had set out from Newfoundland, Canada, on June 14, 1919, in their modified Vickers Vimy biplane, aiming to become the first to fly non-stop across the Atlantic. Facing numerous challenges, including harsh weather conditions and limited fuel supplies, they pushed themselves and their aircraft to the limit, finally touching down in a bog near Clifden, County Galway, Ireland, on June 15, 1919, after 15 hours and 54 minutes in the air. Their successful transatlantic flight marked a significant milestone in aviation history and demonstrated the potential of air travel as a viable means of transportation. The image of Alcock and Brown, standing triumphantly in Ireland, serves as a testament to their courage, determination, and the spirit of adventure that characterized the early days of aviation. This photograph, from the esteemed Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a unique glimpse into a pivotal moment in history and stands as a reminder of the incredible achievements of these pioneering aviators.
