Too many to name, but Lindbergh was the first to do it SOLO.
Not before Charles Lindbergh did in 1927
The first time across the Atlantic? Paris. Before that, he flew from St. Louis to New York.
The history of flight traces back to even before the Wright Brothers. The first person to fly over the Atlantic Ocean was John Alcock.
One of his favourites must have been the fact that Charles Lindbergh was the 67th man to fly across the Atlantic ocean non-stop. All the people before him did it with someone else. So Lindbergh was just the first person to fly across it solo.

In 1927 Lindbergh made the first solo, non-stopairplane flight across the Atlantic. Before theat, there were flights by teams (not solo) before him. There were flights that landed on islands in the ocean before continuing (not non-stop). There was also an airship flight (not a plane).
Two British airmen, John Alcock and Arthur Brown, flew a modified Vickers Vimy bomber across the Atlantic in June,1919 - 8 years before Lindbergh !
He did not. Flying a plane over the Atlantic ocean has already been done before, the only thing unique is that he had no co-pilot. That effort has not made any of our lives better today.
Charles Lindbergh who was awarded by the USA a Medal of Honor, received from NAZI GERMANY before the start of WWII their equivalent of the US Medal of Honor.
The first people to cross the Atlantic by air were Britons John Alcock and Arthur Whitten Brown in a Vickers Vimy IV biplane in 1919.
