description Arthur Whitten Brown Overview
Arthur Whitten Brown was a British navigator who worked with pilot John Alcock on the first nonstop flight across the Atlantic Ocean. On 14-15 June 1919, Brown navigated a modified Vickers Vimy bomber from St. John's, Newfoundland, to Clifden in County Galway, Ireland, a journey that took about 16 hours and 27 minutes. The flight made him a significant figure in early long-distance aviation and illustrates the importance of navigation in aircraft operating beyond established routes.
