A remarkable record of early aviation in New York. The Atlantic was a four-engined Handley-Page V/1500 built as a World War I bomber. In the early summer of 1919 it was shipped to Canada to attempt the first trans-Atlantic crossing, but when this race was lost to Alcock and Brown the crew, led by Admiral Sir Mark Kerr and Major Herbert Brackley, made the first flight from Newfoundland to New York State, carrying some of the earliest air mail in North America. The appearance of this huge plane in the skies above New York caused considerable excitement.
