Lindbergh Lands in St Thomas Welcomed by Crowds
Col. Charles A Lindbergh arrived in St Thomas Virgin Islands amid cheering crowds after a 3050 mile flight from Venezuela. A 20 minute cannon salute and church bells marked his landing before he departed for San Juan Puerto Rico. He received an inlaid mahogany table from local citizens and a scroll of honor as officials noted his status as a celebrated aviator. The tour continues to Santo Domingo and Haiti, with a salvaged anchor of Columbus's Santa Maria to be presented later in Haiti.
