Defining a naval officer's first transatlantic flight

Piloting an aircraft and travelling as a passenger give different meanings to a first transatlantic flight.

Question

Who was the first naval officer to fly across the Atlantic Ocean?

Short answer

The question needs to distinguish pilot from passenger. The tentative passenger identification cannot be recovered confidently from the captions.

Notes

Crossing as a passenger and piloting an aircraft are different claims to a first transatlantic flight. A passenger is tentatively suggested, but the name and rank are unclear in the captions. No confident first officer is identified.
