Beskrivelse

Beskrivelse The U.S. Navy Curtiss NC-3 off Ponta Delgada, Azores Islands, 19 May 1919. Three U.S. Curtiss NCs (NC-1, NC-3 and NC-4) tried to cross the Atlantic in 1919, beginning on 8 May. They left Naval Air Station Rockaway, New York (USA) with intermediate stops in Cape Cod, Massachusetts, Chatham, Massachusetts and Halifax, Nova Scotia before reaching Trepassey, Newfoundland on 15 May 1919. On 16 May they left for the longest leg of their journey, to the Azores, with 22 warships stationed at 50 mile (80 km) intervals along the route. The NC-4 reached Horta in the Azores on the following afternoon, 1,200 miles (1,920 km) and 15 hours 18 minutes later, having encountered thick fogbanks along the route; the NC-1 and the NC-3 were both forced to land at sea due to rough weather; the crew of the NC-1 was rescued by the Greek freighter Ionia, the NC-1 sinking three days later; the crew of the NC-3 managed to sail their flying-boat to, Ponta Delagda, Azores, where it was taken in tow by a U.S. warship, arriving in 19 May 1919.
