The first non-stop flight across the Atlantic Ocean...
Item # 672686
June 16, 1919
THE GLOBE, Bethlehem, Penn., 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 two column heading: "CAPT. ALCOCK AND LIEUT. BROWN, FIRST TRANS-OCEAN FLIERS" with subheads. (see)
Complete with 20 pages, light toning and some wear at the margins, generally good. Should be handled with care.
