SPRINGFIELD REPUBLICAN, Massachusetts, June 16, 1919
* 1st Non-stop Transatlantic airplane flight (historic)
* John Alcock & Arthur W. Brown
It may be a surprise to many that Charles Lindbergh was not the first to fly non-stop across the Atlantic (his was the first solo flight). Eight years previously the pair of John Alcock & Arthur Brown made the historic flight. The front page has a four column headline: "ALCOCK AND BROWN FLY TO IRELAND - FIRST NONSTOP TRIP ACROSS SEA - JOURNEY TOOK 16 HOURS, 12 MINUTES" with subheads and related photo. (see)
Other news of the day. Complete in 18 pages, light browning, minor margin wear, small label in the masthead, generally nice.
