The picture at 04:03 is of one of the Spirit Of St Louis reproductions that is on display at the EAA Airventure Museum in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. (Yes I know I’m nitpicking but still).
The first transatlantic flight was in 1919 by British airmen John Alcock and Arthur Brown in a British Vickers Vimy IV twin engined bomber. They flew from Newfoundland (Canada) to Ireland. Lindberg's achievement was that he flew alone in a single-engined aircraft.
A Freeman Alcock and Brown were the first to fly nonstop. The first trans-Atlantic flight was made about two weeks beforehand by the US Navy. It was done in a flying boat called the Curtiss NC-4, which was originally built as a maritime patrol bomber. The plane was flown by Lt. Albert Read and had a crew of six. They also had two similar planes flying with them, but which could not complete the flight because of mechanical problems (no one died, thankfully). But when Alcock and Brown flew nonstop, the NC-4 was overshadowed. Today the NC-4 is on display at the National Naval Aviation Museum in Pensacola, Florida, while Alcock and Brown’s Vimy is in the London Science Museum.
Newfoundland to Ireland is about 2/3 the distance from NYC to Paris. From St John to Clifden Ireland is 1,889 miles, while Roosevelt field to Le Bourget is 3,610 miles. That is astounding. I tried to do NYC to Paris on MFS 2004, and that shite is tough as hell.
I'm sure I was the only child to fly Charles Lingburg! My father was a pilot and flew him and his wife to Maui. He owned the airlines which my father was Chief Pilot of Royal Hawaiian Air Service. My dad would take us kids some days to work with him. It was my day to go, had no idea who he was. My father took off and landed the plane, but it was me he took controls and flew. With my dad next to me. Got to see Nixon and the astronauts at Hickham airforce base. I was in middle school. I also smoked pot with Ozzy Ozborne and Band while their roadies were setting up. Lol
There seems to be a compaign to smear him now, with a book, he would of litterally hated his son and killed him, all and all a sick evil person..... Seems a little much for a man that took life risking challenges.
I’ve been doing a good deal of research into Lindbergh and his flight. I think he is much like his good friend Henry Ford in the sense that they appear on the surface to be simplistic, but are in fact quite complex characters, as they held some controversial views, even for their times, while being extraordinarily visionaries and could better relate to machines than to men.
Dude, I’m republican and most all of us think that they were a bunch of fucking racist scumbags who had a good idea or two. Maybe you can say that they had mostly good ideas and some bad ones.... but what you just said is HISTORICALLY incorrect and awful.
I need more research, great men do differ from the crowd, I know they both were pro NAZI, as many were, Rockfeller and IBM helped Them out. Not aware of racist, but that was common in those days, still exist, worst folks usually are fade followers, and the Haters would be just that in that era.
A fucking scum pig along with Henry Ford......NAZI SYMPATHIZERS BOTH. WE HAVE ONE IN THE WHITE HOUSE. DON'T GIVE A SHIT IF HE WAS THE FIRST TO FLY ACROSS THE ATLANTIC, BECAUSE SOMEBODY ELSE WOULD'VE DONE IT ANYWAY.
33 Hours seems pretty easy. Probably Took A Nap like Jimmy Stewart Movie. Only Weather and Navigation Needed. Took a nap ate lunch kept cruising. Like Driving an 18 Wheeler. He became Wealthy from this ?
Today marks the 93rd Anniversary of this historic flight. I am not trying to excuse Lindbergh, but this was an historic event and it is no even acknowledged anymore. The 90th anniversary in 2017 was ignored. I saw nothing in the papers or television news marking this. Sad that his controversial views, speeches and the recent insights to his personal life have out ranked his accomplishments.
Read his personal biography the spirit of st Louis and you will be fascinated by his courage and love of flying. His life was incredible adventure and success.
@@voicegirl555 This smear propaganda is driven by that Ashkenazi judge for the other, one video its all hate by her, yet family of "friend" *Isidor Srul Fisch* did not side with Hauptman
Charles was with no doubt a hero. But, i do not know why you north americans want to be the first at everything. You want this so much that you create events that did not happen. The first pilot to cross the atlantic ocean on a non stop flight was indeed the brazilian JOAO RIBEIRO DE BARROS. There are many proofs of that. Lindbergh made his flight 22 days after Joao Ribeiro. But he had his merits, of course. The same with the Wright brothers. They WERE NOT the ones who first flew. The first was Santos Dummont, also from Brazil. Santos Dummont was photographed and filmed. hundreds of people witnessed his achievement. they recently made a replica of their plane and it flew. about the wright brothers there are no photos or footage of the flight. there were no witnesses. And worse, the replica of their plane did NOT fly. accept the facts!
@@frankrault3190 i agree with your comment. I do not consider him as a hero, as i do not do with anyone. But my subject here was about his life as a pilot. Again: north american consider him a hero. If you are north american and you are not in this group of people, you are a wise guy !
De Barrios did not fly non-stop, nor solo. He had three others with him. He stopped in several places. The longest stretch of the flight being 500 miles, from Cape Verde to Ilha Fernando de Noronha. The Spirit of St. Louis flew solo, covering 3000 miles in 33 hours. Also several other people flew across the Atlantic before Linbergh; his achievement was the fact that he did it solo and non-stop. Your claims about Santos-Dumont are false. He "flew" his aircraft for about 750 ft distance and not higher than 20 ft off the ground. This happened like 3 years AFTER the Wright brothers. Santos-Dumont might have been the first person filmed flying, but he was not the first person witnessed flying. According to you and several other Brazilians, if it's not on film it never happened, right? Give me a break. Many people have made replicas of the Wright brothers' aircraft which have flown decent distances, so I do not know why you choose to only bring up the failures. By the way, I respect Santos-Dumont for his many achievements and I do not want to denigrate him. By the way, when you talk about us, just call us Americans, not North Americans. That is not how we identify ourselves, at least not primarily. If you are talking about Mexicans, you say Mexican. If you are talking about Canadians you say Canadians. I assume you are a Brazilian, so I would call you a Brazilian, not a "South American".

When did the EAA remove the 7 cylinder Continental engine and replace it with the 9 cylinder Wright J-5-C?

over 80 people had flown the Atlantic before Lindbergh , plus a British airship had done it before everyone , both there and back...
Newfoundland to Ireland is about 2/3 the distance from NYC to Paris. From St John to Clifden Ireland is 1,889 miles, while Roosevelt field to Le Bourget is 3,610 miles. That is astounding. I tried to do NYC to Paris on MFS 2004, and that shite is tough as hell.

In the History Musem in St.Louis they have the Spirit of St.Louis hangining up. I wonder if is the one from the movie.
Joshua Qualls It is from the movie.
Side note; Haven’t been to St Louis yet, but I’d like to check out the Missouri History Museum.
Doesn't his last name end with a "h." like Lindbergh
Yes.
33hours? Jheez what if he wanted to go to the loo?
buddy that was least of his concerns
I imagine he may have fasted for the flight. It would make sense. But that's entirely speculative.
I would like to see the Spirit of St. Louis feat repeated with the exact plane design. Oh, without refueling.
That would be interesting. All we need is a good daredevil. And the appropriate plane.
Put a drone system in it?
