Description: Colum McCannTransatlantic In 1919 Emily Ehrlich watches as two young airmen, Alcock and Brown, emerge from the carnage of World War One to pilot the very first non-stop transatlantic flight from Newfoundland to the west of Ireland.

And in 1998 Senator George Mitchell criss-crosses the ocean in search of an elusive Irish peace.
