Today's Story from Our Flag
..., like yesterday's, is an aviation pioneering moment ...
..., like yesterday's, is an aviation pioneering moment ...
[ Charles Lindbergh in front of his 'Spirit of St. Louis' airplane before his historic flight across the Atlantic ]
Interestingly, on this date, May 21, in 1927, exactly 5 years before Amelia Earhart was the first female pilot to solo across the Atlantic Ocean, the first solo flight across the Atlantic was completed. Who was the aviation pioneer to do what no one had done before?
Charles Lindbergh, piloting his plane called the 'Spirit of St. Louis,' flew from New York to Paris in 33 and 1/2 hours. He fought through icy weather conditions and several hours of thick fog. He also flew as high as 10,000 feet, above the clouds, and as low as 10 feet over the waves of the ocean. He landed at the Paris airport around 10 in the evening and was greeted by a crowd of 150,000, who carried him around, cheering, for nearly a half-hour.
[ Below is a short video capturing his departure for his solo flight across the Atlantic Ocean ]
