Aviator Charles Lindbergh (1902 - 1974) - famed for making the first solo non-stop airplane flight across Atlantic Ocean (1927).
Photo circa 1920s of American aviator, author, inventor and explorer Charles Lindbergh (1902 - 1974). Lindbergh won international fame by making the first solo non-stop airplane flight across the Atlantic Ocean - his monoplane Spirit of St Louis took off from Roosevelt Field in New York on May 20 1927 and landed at Le Bourget Field in Paris 33 1/2 hours later. He was subsequently hit by tragedy when his infant son was kidnapped and murdered in 1932 in the so-called "Crime of the Century". Lindbergh, who was nicknamed "Slim", "Lucky Lindy" and "The Lone Eagle", won the Pulitzer Prize for his 1953 autobiography The Spirit of St Louis. Photo by Bain News Service.
