Using documents and images held within the Archive collections an exhibition marking the first aerial crossings of the Atlantic is on display at RAF Museum London.
The exhibition focuses on a number of significant flights made across the ocean, known affectionately as "the pond", since 1919, including Alcock and Brown's first non-stop flight in June 1919. The material highlights the personalities involved, their motivation and their experiences, as well as the changing technologies which have evolved.
The exhibition also represents the Museum's contribution to the national Archive Awareness Campaign, drawing attention to the large collections of photographs, film, fine art, books and documents stored behind the scenes in the Museum's Library and Archives.
