EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage postcard commemorates the historic achievement of British aviators John Alcock (1892-1819) and Arthur Whitten Brown (1886-1948), who made the first non-stop transatlantic flight on June 14-15, 1919. The intrepid explorers embarked on their groundbreaking journey from St. John's, Newfoundland, aboard a modified World War I Vickers Vimy bomber. Their destination was Clifden, Ireland, a distance of approximately 1,890 miles (3,044 kilometers). The image on this postcard showcases the famous aviators, dressed in their flying gear, standing confidently before their iconic aircraft. Alcock, with his focused gaze and Brown, with a hint of a smile, exude the spirit of adventure and determination that propelled them across the treacherous Atlantic waters. The Vickers Vimy, a sturdy and versatile bomber, was a fitting mount for this record-breaking endeavor, its wings and engine proudly displayed in the background. This postcard serves as a testament to the indomitable human spirit and the relentless pursuit of progress. Alcock and Brown's achievement not only broke the transatlantic flight record but also paved the way for the era of long-distance air travel. Their courage and ingenuity continue to inspire generations of pilots and aviation enthusiasts alike.
