Charles Augustus Lindbergh (February 4, 1902 – August 26, 1974) was an American aviator, military officer, author, inventor, and activist. On May 20–21, 1927, Lindbergh made the first nonstop flight from New York City to Paris, a distance of 5,800 km, flying alone for 33.5 hours. Lindbergh's aircraft, the Spirit of St-Louis was designed and built by the Ryan aircraft company specifically to win the Orteig price for the first flight between the two cities.
