On May 21, 1927, the son of a Swedish immigrant, Charles A. Lindbergh completed the first solo non stop transatlantic flight in history. He flew his special built Ryan NYP “Spirit of St.Louis” 5,810 kilometers (3,610 miles) from Roosevelt Field on Long Island, New York to le Bourget airfield outside Paris, France in 33 hours and 30 minutes.
With this achievement Lindbergh won the $25,000.- prize offered by the New York hotel owner Raymond Orteig to the first aviator to fly directly across the Atlantic from New York to Paris. Charles Lindbergh became a world hero who would remain in the public eye for decades to follow.
“Spirit of St. Louis” was named in honor of the supporters in St.Louis, who paid for the aircraft. “NYP” is the acronym for “New York-Paris”, the object of the flight. |
