Lindbergh, the great hero of the first Atlantic flight in 1927

 Beyond the Atlantic Ocean, in the 1920s, airplanes were developing in full swing, but there was a limit. That's crossing the Atlantic Ocean! I had to struggle for a few days on a boat. Then one day in 1919, Raymond Orteig, a hotel businessman, bet $25,000 on a nonstop flight between New York and Paris. It's not a lot of money now, but it was a lot at the time. The first challenger was René Fonck, who shot down 75 enemy aircraft in the first battle (Ren Fonck). Taking off from Roosevelt Airfield near New York in September 1926, he died at the end of the runway with a crew member who accompanied him when the plane exploded without floating. Perhaps the weight of the plane was too heavy to rise because it was loaded with fuel for a long flight. In April 1927, Major Richard E. Byrd landed in New Jersey while flying across the Atlantic Ocean by mistake, and a crew member who accompanied him was hospitalized and Major Byrd broke his wrist. (Note, New Jersey is in the United States.) So in France, Charles Nungesser and Francois Coli took off from Paris in May 1927 and people waited for their arrival in New York, but no news came.Then one day, a young man named Lindbergh challenged me. People didn't pay much attention to him, who is not as well known as his competitor. His plane was Sprit of Saint Louis. On May 19, 1927, at 7:52, Lindbergh took off from Roosevelt Airfield for a transatlantic crossing with 2,750 pounds of fuel and some food.The weather between Cape Cod and Nova Scotia, who first started flying, was clear. From Nova Scotia to Newfoundland, the sea was made of icebergs and he flew along the beach. In the evening, it began to darken, and the fog thickened, and it was surrounded by black clouds. Flying became easier only after the moon rose. He used instruments but often lost his course. I was even sleepy during the flight. In fact, his biggest enemy during the flight was sleepiness. I pinched it, drank water, rubbed my eyes, and the time barely passed. Twenty-three hours later, he saw the coastline over the horizon. I also saw a dolphin fishing boat. An hour later, he saw the dim coastline of Ireland, Ireland, and it was not until sunset that he started flying between London and Paris and finally saw the lanterns in Paris. He circled the Eiffel Tower and headed to Le Bourget Airport. The flight is over. He flew 3,600 miles in 33 hours and 31 minutes and had 85 gallons of fuel left.When the plane landed, thousands of people came in and pulled Lindbergh out of the cockpit and started lifting him up.The biggest reason he succeeded in crossing the Atlantic was the weight of the plane. The other pilots had a large plane and not just by themselves, but by a few people. But Lindbergh had a small plane, he went alone, and he didn't take a parachute to take a lot of fuel.After the successful crossing, American newspapers nicknamed him The Lone Eagle.
