Charles Lindbergh - Aviation Pioneer and Humanitarian

Eighty years ago in 1927, a crowd of roughly 500 people thought they had witnessed a miracle as a young Charles Lindbergh steered his “ Spirit of St. Louis” down the dirt runway of Roosevelt Field on Long Island. Thirty three and a half hours later, the miracle happened when Lindbergh landed at Le Bourget Field outside of Paris, becoming the first man to fly solo across the Atlantic. This single event revolutionized aviation and our view of the world.

After his historic trans-Atlantic flight, Charles and Anne Morrow Lindbergh conceived a vision to improve the quality of life through the balance between technology and nature. The Lindbergh Foundation honors individuals for their contributions in aviation, exploration, conservation, sciences and the
humanities.

On May 18th, 19th and 20th, the Cradle of Aviation Museum will commemorate this historic moment in history with a series of events and activities that will bring focus to one of the crowning achievements in aviation and Long Island history.
