Transcript:
After posing for what could have been the last photograph of his mother, Charles A Lindbergh climbed into the cockpit of the spirit of Saint Louis, smiled once more for reporters, then took off from the grass runway of Roosevelt Field, Long Island on the foggy morning of May 20th, 1927, with no radio to communicate his position, he flew solo 5800 kilometres. In 33 1/2 hours across the Atlantic to Paris. Back in New York City, he received a hero's welcome with a ticker tape parade up Broadway and a Medal of Valour from New York Governor Al Smith for becoming the first to fly solo across the Atlantic. Charles Lindbergh became one of the most famous Americans of all time.
