Charles A. Lindbergh (1902–1974) became an international hero on May 20–21, 1927, when he completed the first solo nonstop flight across the Atlantic Ocean, piloting the Spirit of St. Louis from New York to Paris. His achievement captured the imagination of the world and marked a turning point in the public acceptance and advancement of aviation. The fiftieth anniversary of the flight in 1977 inspired a remarkable range of commemorative postal issues, cacheted covers, and philatelic events, many of which are represented in this attractive collection documenting the lasting impact of Lindbergh’s historic accomplishment.
