The first crossing of an ocean, the longest distance ever flown by man, it was a triumph of navigation, flying skill and rare courage. Mancunians Alcock and Brown survived continuous cloud, snow and ice and a near-fatal stall in their open-cockpit Vickers Vimy, as well as a deafening damaged exhaust and non-functioning wireless. With no modern aids and depending solely on dead reckoning, they landed in Derrygimla, Galway, only 20 miles north of their target destination, having covered 1,880 miles in their 16-hour marathon from Newfoundland to Ireland, the longest distance flown by man.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Brendan Lynch\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0750990007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780750990004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e History Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs","brand":"Brendan Lynch","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44072722694399,"sku":"9780750990004","price":32.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_105fbf03-1b18-48e4-ad3e-6109748be5df.jpg?v=1685443631","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/yesterday-we-were-in-america-brendan-lynch-9780750990004","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
