| "Charles Lindbergh - The Lone Eagle" |
16 x 20 Lithograph ---- Limited Edition (275 prints) signed by the Artist
On May 21, 1927, Charles A. Lindbergh completed the first solo nonstop
transatlantic flight in history, flying his Ryan NYP "Spirit of St. Louis" 3,610 miles
between Roosevelt Field on Long Island, New York and Paris, France, in 33 hours,
30 minutes. With this flight, Lindbergh won the $25,000 prize offered by New York
hotel owner Raymond Orteig to the first aviator to fly an aircraft directly across the
Atlantic between New York and Paris. When he landed at Le Bourget Field in Paris,
Lindergh became a world hero who would remain in the public eye for decades.
The aftermath of the flight was the "Lindbergh boom" in aviation: aircraft industry
stocks rose in value and interest in flying skyrocketed. Lindbergh's subsequent
U.S. tour in the "Spirit of St Louis" demonstrated the potential of the airplane as a
safe, reliable mode of transportation. Following the U.S. tour, Lindbergh took the
aircraft on a goodwill flight to Central and South America, where flags of the
countries he visited were painted on the cowling. "Spirit of St. Louis" was named in
honor of Lindbergh's supporters in St. Louis, Missouri, who paid for the aircraft.
"NYP" is an acronym for "New York-Paris," the object of the flight.
