Amelia Earhart
Charles Lindbergh
You said person and nonstop- this probably would apply to the entire crew of the Zeppelin ZR-3 later the (Los Angeles) with then Lt.Comdr. Charles Irving Rosenthal in charge with Hugo Eckener ( German Zeppelin expert) as a technical advisor- with a fairly large crew. at least two Zeppelins crossed the Big Pond ( Atlantic Ocean) prior to the l927 Lindbergh Flight. This is not hot air!

The first non-stop transatlantic flight was made by British aviators John Alcock and Arthur Whitten Brown. They took off from St Johns, Newfoundland in Canada on 14 June 1919 and crash-landed near Clifden, Connemara in Ireland on 15 June 1919 after a flight lasting 15 hours 57 minutes.

It's not Columbus, that's for sure. The Viking Leif Erikson settled in Newfoundland some 600 before Columbus' arrival. But many historians think that one or more Vikings before him already may have made the crossing. But evidence for this is circumstantial and we don't have confirmed names.

So Leif Erikson it is.
