Charles Lindberg

EARLY YEARS -- MAY 21, 1927 -- Charles Augustus Lindberg becomes the first man to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean. Flying in his "Spirit of St. Louis" he takes less than 34 hours to fly from Roosevelt Field, near New York City, to Paris, France. He was greeted upon his arrival by a frenzied crowd of more than 100,000 people at Le Bourget Field. (U.S. Air Force photo)
