Yesterday We Were in America
Description
In 1919, two World War I flying aces climbed into the open cockpit of a converted Vicker's Vimy and embarked on the world's first non-stop transatlantic flight, touching down after 16 grueling hours on the west coast of Ireland. Their story is interwoven with the story of two modern-day pilots who retrace Alcock and Brown's pioneering flight in a modern Diamond DA42 Twin Star.
