Daily Mail aviation prizes
Between 1907 and 1925, the ''Daily Mail'' newspaper, initially on the initiative of its proprietor, Alfred Harmsworth, 1st Viscount Northcliffe,〔("Direct initiative of Lord Northcliffe ) Flight PDF Archive, 6 September 1913〕 awarded numerous prizes for achievements in aviation. The newspaper would stipulate the amount of a prize for the first aviators to perform a particular task in aviation, or to the winner of an aviation race or event. The most famous prizes were the £1,000 for the first cross-channel flight awarded to Louis Blériot in 1909 and the £10,000 given in 1919 to Alcock and Brown for the first non-stop transatlantic flight between North America and Ireland.
The prizes are credited with advancing the course of aviation during the early years, with the considerable sums offered becoming a much-coveted goal for the field's pioneers.
