Did the first transatlantic flight nearly happen two weeks before Lindbergh? In Part 2 of this special Miles Ahead series, Miles O'Brien follows the trail of eyewitnesses in Newfoundland who reported seeing a white aircraft on May 9, 1927 — the day after French aviators Charles Nungesser and François Coli vanished while attempting to fly nonstop from Paris to New York.
