The world's oldest and longest-reigning monarch is Thailand's King Bhumibol Adulyadej.



Elizabeth Alexandra Mary is the Queen the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (and nominal head of State for 15 Commonwealth countries) since 6 Feb 1952 in the death of her father, King George VI. Was crowned as 4th sovereign of the Windsor dinasty on 2 Jun 1953. She is currently the longest-time woman ruler in the world and the second oldest one among all worldwide rulers, only preceded by King Bhumibol Adulyadej of Thailand (1946).

Mom Rajawongse Sirikit - Queen of Thailand has been on the throne longer (1949) - but not as sole ruler


On May 21, 1927, Charles A. Lindbergh completed the first solo nonstop transatlantic flight in history, flying his Ryan NYP "Spirit of St. Louis" 5,810 kilometers (3,610 miles) between Roosevelt Field on Long Island, New York, and Paris, France, in 33 hours, 30 minutes

Lindbergh should not be famous for making the first transatlantic flight because he didn't. That honor goes to Lieutenant Commander Albert Read of the U.S. Navy and the crew of the flying boat NC-4 in May 1919. The transatlantic portion of their flight was from Newfoundland to Portugal with a stop in the Azores, but the entire flight was from New York to England

Sorry NOT right.

Lindbergh was the 67 person to cross the
Atlantic none stop by air.

Try again.

Sirikit is not a reigning Queen - at best she is a queen consort - like Brenda's late Mum. I'm pleased to see Monty mention Hedda. Apparently Hedda is stamping her foot over on the Bog and insisting that Monty correct some point or other. Monty - front and centre immediately, please

British aviators Alcock and Brown (Captain John Alcock and Lieutenant Arthur Whitten Brown) made the first nonstop flight across the Atlantic Ocean in 1919.

Flying a modified Vickers Vimy IV twin-engined bomber, they took off from Lester's Field, Newfoundland (now in Canada) in the late afternoon June 14, 1919 and crash landed (53┬░26′N 10┬░01′W) in a bog near Clifden in Connemara, Ireland, at 8:40am on June 15, 1919, crossing the coast at 4.28pm. They flew 1890 miles in 15 hours 57 minutes, at an average speed of 118 mph. Their aircraft was powered by two Rolls Royce Eagle engines each of 360hp.




October 1924. The Zeppelin airship ZR-3 (LZ-126) flies from Germany to New Jersey with a crew commanded by Dr. Hugo Eckener, covering a distance of about 4,000 statute miles (6,400 km). It was the first nonstop aircraft flight between Europe and America mainlands.

In 1924 the German ZR 3 , flew from Germany to New Jersy with 33 men.
So Lindbergh was the 67 th. To fly across the Atlantic.

1. Thailand's King Bhumibol Adulyadej.

2 Elizabeth Alexandra Mary, Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland - also known as Queen Elizabeth II

Since they crashed landed I am unsure of who hit the ground first to claim the record of the first person to cross the Atlantic non stop. Let's just call it a tie between Alcock & Brown
