ON MAY 20, 1927, A YOUNG PILOT NAMED CHARLES LINDBERGH SET OUT FROM LONG ISLAND ALL BY HIMSELF IN A SMALL, SINGLE-ENGINE PLANE TO CROSS THE ATLANTIC OCEAN. IT WAS CALLED THE SPIRIT OF ST. LOUIS. THE TRIP WAS DARING 1 AND DANGEROUS. LINDBERGH HAD NO RADIO OR PARACHUTE. THERE WAS JUST ENOUGH ROOM IN THE COCKPIT FOR HIM TO SIT WITH HIS LEGS BENT 2.
