AM I HERE? IS THIS REALLY PARIS?
February 4, 2012
110 years ago today, Charles Lindbergh was born in Detroit, Michigan. In 1927, he flew for 33.5 hours and 3,500 miles across the Atlantic in the world's first non-stop solo flight. On May 1st, he crossed the French border, followed the River Seine, and touched down at Le Bourget Field at 10:22PM. He was greeted by a mob of 100,000 people.
Upon landing, he asked "Am I here?" "Is this really Paris?". Happy Birthday, Charles.
Love,
