Charles Lindbergh earned his nickname by flying solo across the Atlantic ocean in 1927. His voyage, which had a small chance of succession, was accomplished. He was thus given the name Lucky Lindy for succession in his flight that was seen as near impossible.
The first person to fly nonstop across the Atlantic Ocean was Charles Lindbergh. He accomplished this feat on May 20-21, 1927, flying from New York to Paris in his aircraft, the Spirit of St. Louis. Lindbergh's historic flight lasted about 33.5 hours and made him an international hero.
