"The Big Hop" recounts the daring 1919 transatlantic flight competition, highlighting the bravery and risks taken by early aviators as they attempted a nonstop crossing from Newfoundland to Ireland. Amid the backdrop of post-World War I recovery and pandemic hardships, only one team completes the arduous flight, overshadowed later by more famous solo crossings. Author David Rooney shines a spotlight on these pioneering pilots and their remarkable stories, celebrating their historic achievements in aviation history.
