Charles Lindbergh
Charles Augustus Lindbergh (
4 February 1902 –
26 August 1974), known as "Lucky Lindy" and "The Lone Eagle," was an
American pilot famous for the first solo, non-stop flight across the
Atlantic, from
Roosevelt Field, Long Island to
Paris in 1927 in the "
Spirit of St. Louis." In the ensuing deluge of notoriety, Lindbergh became the world's best-known aviator. In the years prior to
World War II, Lindbergh was a noted
isolationist, and a leader in the
America First Committee to keep the U.S. out of the coming war. Nevertheless, he flew combat missions in the
Pacific Theater as a consultant. In later years, Lindbergh took an active role in the
environmental movement. Charles Lindbergh is a recipient of the
Medal of Honor.
