To some, the end of World War One was the beginning of opportunity, and Alcock and Brown made the first ever non-stop transatlantic flight from Newfoundland to Galway on 14th June 1919
They flew a modified First World War Vickers Vimy bomber from Trespassy Harbour, St. John s, Newfoundland, 1, 960 miles to Derrygimla bog, Clifden, Connemara, County Galway, Ireland. They arrived at 08.40am on 15th June.
The Secretary of State for Air, Winston Churchill, presented them with the Daily Mail prize for the first crossing of the Atlantic Ocean by aeroplane in less than 72 consecutive hours'. A small amount of mail was carried on the flight, making it the first transatlantic airmail flight. The two aviators were awarded the honour of Knight Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (KBE) a week later by King George V at Windsor Castle.
