Lindberg


On May 20, 1927, 25-year-old pilot Charles Lindbergh strapped into his<b> famous </font></b>airplane, “The Spirit of St. Louis,” and took off on the first solo transatlantic airplane flight. Lindbergh emerged from the virtual obscurity of a U.S. Air Mail pilot to instantaneous world fame as the result of his solo nonstop flight made from the Roosevelt Field in Garden City on New York's Long Island to Le Bourget Field in Paris, France. As a result of this flight, Lindbergh was the first person in history to be in New York one day and Paris the next. The record setting flight took 33 hours and 30 minutes. Lindbergh was awarded the nation's highest military decoration, the Medal of Honor, for his historic exploit.
