New Perspectives present Those Magnificent Men

By Brian Mitchell&Joseph Nixon

Extra, extra! Read all about it! £10,000 prize for the first ever non-stop transatlantic flight!

By any standards, this is a classic tale of plucky British pioneers –Captain John Alcock, dashing WW1 fighter pilot, and Lieutenant Arthur Whittam Brown, navigational genius with a gammy leg. Huddled together against the elements in the tiny cockpit of their converted Vickers Vimy biplane, made almost entirely of wood and canvas – talk about winging it! The hilarious, heart-stopping story of Alcock and Brown and the first ever non-stop transatlantic flight.
