R33-class airship

R34, the R33 class's transatlantic record-setter In July 1919 R34 made the first east-to-west crossing of the Atlantic by air, flying from East Fortune in Scotland to Mineola on Long Island in 108 hours and 12 minutes. It then flew home to Pulham in Norfolk, completing the first return flight between Britain and the United States. Alcock and Brown had flown the Atlantic eastbound in an airplane only weeks earlier; the first westbound crossing went to an airship. The trip even carried a stowaway, a crew member who hid aboard rather than miss it.
