According to Alcock and Brown page, 1890 miles (3040 km), not 1980 miles. I've found, that most Internet sites give 1890 BUT the New York Times header said 1980! Where's the error?( http://ngb.chebucto.org/Articles/sjc-alcock-and-brown.shtml) Pibwl 12:01, 22 Nov 2004 (UTC)
I revamped the page and removed mentions of the Medal of Honor. The reference - http://www.flightglobal.com/pdfarchive/view/1919/1919%20-%200805.html - used does mention the Medal of Honor but I cannot find any more information that it was actually conferred on Alcock (or Brown). It looks like this was a request that was not followed through on. Londonclanger ( talk) 10:30, 13 September 2013 (UTC)

His gravestone says he was Flight-Commander, not Captain. There is a chance he served as Acting Captain but both his nephews (one now dead, the other a neighbour of mine for 50-odd years) insist he was F-C and have primary documentation to support it. - Sitush ( talk) 18:19, 4 September 2021 (UTC)
