In 1942 Air Force pilot Sgt. Jarvis Glenn Copeland flew a black Cockerspaniel across the Atlantic Ocean named TUDOR in his plane "The Glenda Jean" from Florida to London. The dog TUDOR is believed to be the first canine to have the distinction of becoming the first and only canine to have crossed the Atlantic by way of flight. The dog was given to his nephew Michael G. Copeland in 1945 in Dallas, Texas when Michael was just four years old. The dog lived into the 1950's and is buried near the family home site. A stone marker lies near the burial site of Copeland in Rose Hill Cemetery, Dallas, Texas citing the event.
