The
Flying Fool
“I ask you to drink
to his health as a young man full of the spirit of adventure
who had lit up the world with a flash of courage.” With
these words, the British Minister of Air turned and raised
his glass to the young man who sat beside him—a young
man who, only a month before, was completely unknown.
Yet on that summer day in 1927 his name was on the world's
lips—Charles Lindbergh, the first man to fly the Atlantic
alone.
He had been an air
mail pilot, flying back and forth between Chicago and
the city of St. Louis. Determined to win the $25 000 prize
offered by a fellowAmerican for the first flight from
New York to paris, Lindbergh had persuaded a group of
St. Louis businessmen to finance the building of a special
plane for him.
The news that Lindbergh
intended to fly the Atlantic alone was received with disbelief.
The plane would never fly, people said. It would run out
of fuel. It had only a single engine. Lloyds of London
refused to insure the flight. Men called Lindbergh the
“flying fool”.
But on May 20th,
1927, just after ten to eight in the morning, Lindbergh's
“Spirit of St. Louis”, heavily laden with fuel, struggled
into the air from a New York airfield. For several hours
the weight of the petrol prevented the young pilot from
flying more than a few feet above the wavetops. Night
came and thick fog covered up the stars. Lindbergh flew
steadily on, hoping that his course was the right one.
He struggled to keep awake, checking the fuel all the
time to keep his mind active. Throughout the next day
the “Spirit of St. Louis” flew on over the seemingly limitless
sea. Then a fishing boat appeared, and, an hour later,
land. It was Ireland. Lindbergh set a compass course for
paris.
By ten o'clock
the lights of France's capital were shining beneath him.
Tired, unshaved, suddenly hungry, the “flying fool” came
down to Le Bourget airport, and landed in front of a huge
crowd of wildly cheering people. After 34 hours of continuous
piloting, the flight of 3600 miles was over.

talking about him”
