As Charles Lindberghpiloted the Spirit of St. Louis down the dirt runway of Roosevelt Field in New York on May 20, 1927, many doubted he would successfully cross the Atlantic Ocean. Yet Lindbergh landed safely in Paris less than 34 hours later becoming the first pilot to solo a nonstop trans-Atlantic flight.
