Hey class,
Inspirational Aviators like Charles Lindbergh hold a famous connection to the Aviation world, along with a solid foundation of the innerworkings of the developing nations during the 1920s.
He began piloting as a young Barnstormer and eventually enlisted in the Army where he trained as a reserve pilot. In 1927, eager to win a prize of over $10,000, He became famous for completing the nations first Transatlantic solo flight in around 33.5hours.
But what seperates Lindbergh from the rest of his fellow flyers, is that he did much more than just fly planes and set records. He is also famous as a writer, poet and inventor. His stance against the government and the monetary system during the Great Depression stand testament to his contributions not only a pilot, but also as a concerned citizen of the developing United States. Despite any personal controversies, Lindbergh is credited with helping usher in the age of commercial aviation. His innovative and heroic acts continue to inspire others all over the world.
