British aviators, Captain John Alcock of the Royal Air Force and Lieutenant Arthur Whitten Brown of the Royal Flying Service made the first non-stop transatlantic flight using a modified World War I Vickers Vimy bomber from St. John's, Newfoundland, to Clifden, Connemara, County Galway, Ireland. The Secretary of State for Air, Winston Churchill, presented them with the Daily Mail prize for the first crossing of the Atlantic Ocean in "less than 72 consecutive hours." Since there was a small amount of mail carried, this was in effect the first transatlantic airmail flight. The two aviators were awarded the honor of Knight Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (KBE) a week later by King George V at Windsor Castle (AAMC FF3, $1,850)
