On this day, 98 years ago, on May 21, 1927 (April 21, 1927 in the lunar calendar), Charles Lindberg flew alone across the Atlantic Ocean. On May 21, 1927, nearly 100,000 Parisians rushed to the tarmac of Le Bourget Airport to cheer for the arrival of a new world hero. Charles Lindberg landed safely and completed his first solo nonstop flight from New York to Paris. Others have flown across the Atlantic, but none has attracted more public attention than the lanky, soft-spoken 25-year-old pilot. When his Ryan NYP monoplane, the Spirit of St. Louis, landed after more than 33 hours of operation and a distance of 3600 miles, the crowd engulfed Lindbergh and his plane. Neither squadron of French soldiers could stop them. Lindbai was born in Detroit and grew up in Minnesota. He is a typical Midwesterner. He couldn't understand why people were making such a fuss. Moreover, he wasn't sure he would like such a scene. Just a few weeks ago, when people competed for the $25,000 prize for the first non-landing flight across the Atlantic from New York to Paris, Lindberg was a dark horse with unknown strength. Only his supporters, St. Louis industrialists, believed he would succeed. He boldly flew directly from California to New York in an attempt to win the championship among all his opponents. Lin Bai took off from Roosevelt Airport on Long Island at dawn on May 20. The flight made front-page news on both continents. Because his flight gasoline was too heavy, he flew like a drunk seagull and almost touched the treetops at the runway terminal. Newspaper and radio publicity brought the news to the attention of thousands of viewers. People were looking forward to Lindberg's arrival when Lindberg's plane flew north along the coast and turned west over the Atlantic Ocean at St. John, Newfoundland at 7:15 p.m. next New York time. From then on, Lin Bai's flight relied only on a rangefinder and compass to calculate the position. Sometimes the plane descended sharply to an altitude of 10 feet, and sometimes it rose to an altitude of 10,000 feet. The pilot sat alert in the plane, munching on a hoard of food-five homemade sandwiches. Lindberg saw the lights of Paris at 10 p.m. and landed at Le Bourget Airport at 10:24. Just as this flight was a continuous flight, people did not pause after the plane landed and held celebrations immediately. Some people may only regard his achievements as money-making stunts, but for others, he has a deeper meaning: the future of aviation and air travel is brewing to take off.
