Pupils at a rural primary school in Conamara have completed an in-depth history project and play on the world's first non-stop transatlantic flight in 1919.
Aillebrack National School are taking part in an All-Island Schools' History Competition which aims to showcase historical events.
There are 25 pupils attending the school which is nestled beneath the majestic Doon Hill in Ballyconneely.
The Alcock and Brown flight crash-landed over Derrygimlagh Bog which is right on their doorstep.
In an extraordinary feat of aviation, Alcock and Brown completed the flight in a Vickers Vimy biplane over 16 hours after taking off from Newfoundland in Canada.
They landed in Derrygimlagh Bog after battling treacherous blizzards and mechanical aircraft problems.
Staff and pupils have created a treasure trove of props and borrowed artefacts from the former Ocean Alive Museum in Renvyle. The items included a gramophone and a telegrapher.
Aillebrack school is close to the Marconi heritage trail where the first long distance radio station opened in 1907 allowing early wireless communication with ships at sea and direct radio contact with North America.
The Marconi Station adjoining Derrygimlagh Bog signalled the arrival of Alcock and Brown on the European side of the Atlantic Ocean.
Colm Wallace, a teacher at the school, said: "Alcock and Brown was such a significant piece of world history which in turn had a huge impact on this local area.
"The two men left Newfoundland for London and had no plans to land on Derrygimlagh Bog in Ballyconneely. Obviously, planes were in their infancy and local people had never seen a plane before. Then suddenly this flying machine comes crashing into the bog. It's an incredible story.
"The children would have been acquainted with it to a certain extent but we really wanted to dig into it and find out who was Alcock and who was Brown, what did they think of the local area and what did the locals think of them. Myself and Principal Marion McDermott together with all the staff and children worked together on this project for many months and we're proud of what we have achieved."
Ethan Conroy and Harry McCallion play Alcock and Brown in the school's drama production.
"We're hoping to keep their memory alive for an awful long time, because they were quite forgotten for many years," Ethan said.
"We're really bringing it all back to life. I'm wearing my dad's brown shoes and I spray painted my swimming goggles to get the right look," Harry said.
