Charles Lindbergh, Genuine ULTRA RARE Original ‘Spirit of St. Louis’ Book - 100% Guaranteed Hand Signed with COA - Certificate of Authenticity.
Charles Augustus Lindbergh (February 4, 1902 – August 26, 1974) was an American aviator, military officer, and author.
On May 20–21, 1927, he made the first nonstop flight from New York to Paris, a distance of 3,600 miles (5,800 km), flying alone for over 33 hours.
His aircraft, the Spirit of St. Louis, was built to compete for the $25,000 Orteig Prize for the first flight between the two cities.
Although not the first transatlantic flight, it was the first solo crossing of the Atlantic and the longest at the time by nearly 2,000 miles (3,200 km), setting a new flight distance world record.
The achievement garnered Lindbergh worldwide fame and stands as one of the most consequential flights in world history, signalling a new era of air transportation between parts of the globe.
