Was Charles Lindbergh really the first man to cross the Atlantic or was it backwards Chrogie?
There were several successful manned aircraft (Including two zeppelins) crossings of the Atlantic ocean prior to Lindbergh, who was something of the Darling of the news media. (One- man show, y"Know) There are even some people who think the entire Lindbergh flight was a (newspaper hoax) which is not so.- It is true that Newspapers were known to sponsor both automobile ( such as the Peking-Paris) and aircraft races, rallies and endurance stunts to boost circulation. this was most true of Le matin, a French paper and the various James Gordon Bennett controlled papers and rthe Gordon Bennett cups- for both automobile and air racing. There were as stated two multi-crewed zeppelins, one being delivered to the USN. There was a Navy Task force of 4 NC-4 flyingboats which crossed the South Atlantic, One or two made the complete flight, the others forced down for mechanical reasons. I have never heard of Backwards Chrogie, perhaps you are thinking o f Douglas (no relation to the Douglas aircraft co) Corrigan or (Wrong Way Corrigan). the Corrigan flight occured well afte4r the Lindbergh one and violated federal air rules so was disqualified and Mr.l Corrigan"s license suspended, for a time at least.l Corrigan was operating an(Unairworthy) plane so to speak. All up there were some 37 or more aircraft pilots, incuding Zeppelin crewmen, perhaps riggers, engineers, mechanics who crossed the ocean before Charles a Lindbergh, who was the first SOLO crossing on the specific New York To Paris route. That"s the facts.
