EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic moment when British aviators Captain John Alcock and Lieutenant Arthur Whitten Brown were welcomed with jubilation after completing the first non-stop transatlantic flight. The image, taken in London in June 1919, showcases the triumphant arrival of these courageous men who had just accomplished an extraordinary feat. After taking off from St John's, Newfoundland at 1:45 pm on June 14th, 1919, Alcock and Brown embarked on a daring journey across the vast Atlantic Ocean. Enduring countless challenges and braving treacherous conditions, they successfully landed in Derrygimla bog near Clifden, Ireland after flying an astonishing distance of 1,980 miles (3,190 km). Their record-breaking achievement marked a significant milestone in aviation history. In this photograph, we witness a crowd gathered to celebrate their remarkable accomplishment. The atmosphere is filled with excitement as people cheer for these brave pioneers who defied all odds to conquer the skies. The expressions of joy on their faces reflect not only admiration for Alcock and Brown but also pride in their nation's contribution to aviation progress. The image serves as a poignant reminder of human determination and innovation during a time when air travel was still considered a daring adventure. It encapsulates the spirit of exploration that defined the early years of aviation while paying homage to two individuals whose names will forever be etched in history books - Captain John Alcock and Lieutenant Arthur Whitten Brown.
