Accompanied by the complete issue of the May 3, 1930, Mid-Week Pictorial, located in a pocket on verso of the frame. Charles A. Lindbergh (1902-1974) made the first solo, nonstop transatlantic flight from Roosevelt Field, Long Island to Le Bourget Field, Paris, France on May 20-21, 1927, flying his Ryan NYP Spirit of St. Louis aircraft. The flight took 33½ hours. Lindbergh was awarded the 1954 Pulitzer Prize for Biography for The Spirit of St. Louis. Although Lindbergh's later life was beset by tragedy - the kidnapping and murder of his infant son (1932) - and controversy - his opposition to U.S. preparations to enter World War II - "Lucky Lindy" remains among the greatest of American heroes. After Anne Spencer Morrow (1906-2001) married Charles Augustus Lindbergh in 1929, two years after his historic flight, she became a companion aviator during the 1930s and wrote about many of their adventures.
