Charles Lindbergh wanted his plane, the Spirit of St. Louis, built quickly to capitalize on the growing public interest in transatlantic flight and to secure funding and sponsorship for his ambitious project. The competition for the Orteig Prize, which offered $25,000 for the first successful nonstop flight from New York to Paris, added urgency to his efforts. By completing the plane swiftly, he aimed to position himself as a pioneer in aviation, ensuring both personal and financial success.
