Now published as a paperback, Yesterday We Were in America is the first accurate and atmospheric account of one of the most significant and dramatic flights in history. On 15 June 1919 John Alcock and Arthur Whitten Brown took off from Newfoundland in their open-cockpit Vickers Vimy converted bomber, to attempt a non-stop crossing of the Atlantic Ocean. Some 16 hours later they landed at Clifden in Connemara, Ireland, to become national heroes.
