On 7:52 am May 20th, 1927 Charles Lindbergh
flew from New York to Paris. His plane was
the Spirit of St. Louis. This plane was 28
feet in length, it had a 46 feet wingspan,
and it carried 450 gallons of fuel. This was
the first trans-Atlantic flight made.
Charles Lindbergh decided not to have a
navigator during the trip. He decided this
because he wanted to carry more fuel.
So he flew by reckoning and used local
library maps. This trip took 33 hours, 29
minutes, and 30 seconds. His main problem
to overcome was fatigue. He had a small
turbulence built into the plane to keep
him awake. Sometimes he stuck his head
out the window to feel the cool air which
would also keep him awake. He landed at
Le Bourget Field outside Paris at 10:24
Paris Time on May 21st.
