  1. The first non-stop trans-Atlantic flight was not made by Charles Lindbergh but by two British men, John Alcock and Alfred Whitten Brown. They flew from St. John's, Newfoundland to Ireland in June of 1919.  Lindbergh made the first solo flight across the Atlantic.


  2. Lindbergh Flies the Atlantic, 1927

    On the evening of May 21,1927 he crossed the coast of France, followed the Seine River to Paris and touched down at Le Bourget Field at 10:22P.M. The waiting crowd of 100,000 rushed the plane. "I saw there was danger of killing people with my propeller and I quickly came to a stop." He became an instant hero, "the Lone Eagle." New York City gave him the largest ticker tape parade ever, the president awarded him the Distinguished Flying Cross. His feat electrified the nation and inspired enthusiastic interest in aviation.
