"Charles Lindbergh gained sudden great international fame as the first pilot to fly solo across
the Atlantic Ocean. He flew from Roosevelt Airfield in Garden City, New York, to Paris (Le
Bourget Airport) on 20 May - 21 May 1927 in 33.5 hours. His plane was the single-engine
aircraft, The Spirit of St. Louis.
Lindbergh's accomplishment won him the Orteig Prize; more significant than the prize
money was the acclaim that resulted from his daring flight. A ticker-tape parade was held for
him down 5th Avenue in New York City on 13 June 1927.
His public stature following this flight was such that he became an important voice on behalf
of aviation activities, including the central committee of the National Advisory Committee for
Aeronautics in the United States. The massive publicity surrounding him and his flight
boosted the aircraft industry and made a skeptical public take air travel seriously. Lindbergh
is recognized in aviation for demonstrating and charting polar air-routes, high altitude flying
techniques, and increasing aircraft flying range by decreasing fuel consumption. These
innovations are the basis of modern intercontinental air travel.
In his six months during WW II in the Pacific in 1944, Lindbergh took part in fighter bomber
raids on Japanese positions, flying about 50 combat missions (as a civilian). The U.S.
Marine and Army Air Force pilots who served with Lindbergh admired and respected him,
praising his courage and defending his patriotism.
After World War II he lived quietly in Connecticut as a consultant both to the chief of staff of
the U.S. Air Force and to Pan American World Airways. His 1953 book The Spirit of St.
Louis, recounting his non-stop transatlantic flight, won the Pulitzer Prize in 1954.
Dwight D. Eisenhower restored Lindbergh's assignment with the Army Air Corps and made
him a Brigadier General in 1954. In that year, he served on the Congressional advisory
panel set up to establish the site of the United States Air Force Academy. In December
1968, he visited the crew of Apollo 8 on the eve of the first manned spaceflight to leave earth
orbit.
From the 1960s on, Lindbergh became an advocate for the conservation of the natural
world, campaigning to protect endangered species like humpback and blue whales, was
instrumental in establishing protections for the "primitive" Filipino group the Tasaday and
African tribes, and supporting the establishment of a national park. While studying the native
