On June 15, 1919, two Royal Air Force veterans, John Alcock and Arthur Brown, took off from Newfoundland in a modified Vickers Vimy bomber and landed sixteen hours later in an Irish bog, completing the first non-stop transatlantic flight. This History Hit production tracks the flight from the frantic postwar competition among aviators chasing the Daily Mail's prize money to the mechanical problems the pair fought through mid-ocean, including ice on the wings and a failed instrument panel that left Brown navigating largely by guesswork. The film uses archival photographs, period footage, and expert interviews to lay out how the stripped-down bomber was adapted for the crossing and why the attempt was considered close to suicidal at the time. It also places the flight in context against Lindbergh's later, more famous solo crossing, making the case for why Alcock and Brown's achievement mattered just as much to the history of aviation even though it is less remembered today.
