Fact #93037
When:
Short story:
Charles Lindbergh, in his plane The Spirit Of St Louis, completes the first transatlantic flight when he lands at Le Bourget Field, Paris, France, Europe, after a two day journey from Long Island in the USA. His achievement is celebrated in the songs Like
an Angel You Flew Into Everyone's Heart by Vaughn De Leath, and Lindbergh [The Eagle Of The U.S.A.] recorded for Victor Records just days later by Vernon Dalhart. Lindbergh will also inspire the dance craze The Lindy Hop and, much later, Lindy Comes To Town by Al Stewart.
