Framed “Spirit of St. Louis” relic display commemorating Charles Lindbergh’s historic nonstop transatlantic flight from New York to Paris on May 21, 1927. The professionally produced 8.5 x 11” presentation was created by Ron Cole of Cole’s Aircraft Aviation Art and incorporates imagery of the Spirit of St. Louis in flight, period hangar photographs, historical reference material, and an encapsulated metallic relic fragment attributed to the famed aircraft. The display remains housed in its original black frame.

The display includes descriptive text explaining the history of the aircraft and referencing restoration work performed on the Spirit of St. Louis at Le Bourget Airport in Paris following Lindbergh’s successful Atlantic crossing. The relic fragment is identified as a portion of original aircraft material removed during repair and preservation efforts associated with the plane during the late 1920s and 1930s.

The lower portion of the display features reproduction archival material and is signed and numbered by Ron Cole in silver ink.

Fine condition overall.

Charles A. Lindbergh (1902–1974) became one of the most celebrated aviators in history after completing the first solo nonstop transatlantic flight in May 1927 aboard the Spirit of St. Louis. Departing Roosevelt Field in New York and arriving at Le Bourget Airport in Paris approximately 33.5 hours later, Lindbergh’s achievement transformed aviation and made him an international icon. Artifacts and relic displays connected to the Spirit of St. Louis remain highly collectible symbols of the Golden Age of Aviation and one of the defining accomplishments of early flight history.
