Pilots Richard E. Byrd, Bernt Balchen, Bertrand Acosta, and George O. Noville flew a transatlantic flight with "America" from Roosevelt Field East Garden City, New York on June 29, 1927. Arriving over France, cloud cover prevented a landing in Paris. They returned to the coast of Normandy, crash-landing low on fuel in the water near the beach without fatalities.
