“Chas. A. Lindbergh / The Heroic American Eagle / Air Victory May 21, 1927” Photo Postcard (1927)

            On May 21, 1927, Charles A. Lindbergh, a virtually unknown 25-year-old U.S. air mail pilot, landed his Ryan monoplane, the "Spirit of St. Louis," on Le Bourget airfield outside Paris after a flight of 33 1/2 hours and 3600 miles from New York. He was the first to accomplish this long dreamed non-stop flight from New York to Paris.  Equivalent to landing on the moon, Charles Lindbergh was the Neil Armstrong of his day.
