Non-Sub Trivia

People are having fun with Mush Martin's SubSim trivia questions, so I thought I'd throw out a couple of my own. They're pretty easy to look up, so just for fun see if you know them off the top of your heads.

First a ship one, appropriately enough about an ancient mariner, then some about flying.

1) Who was the first man to circumnavigate the Earth?

2) Who was the first to fly across the Atlantic Ocean?

3) Who was the first to fly across the Atlantic Ocean nonstop?

4) Who was the first man to die in an airplane crash? This is not early testing, but the crash of an actual production aircraft that had already proven itself.
