Lindbergh Solo Hop Recalled On Twenty Fifth Anniversary
Paris twenty five years ago saw Charles Lindbergh land at Le Bourget after his nonstop flight from New York. The crowd swarmed the airport with 50 000 people present and 25 000 inside the fence. Lindbergh described the reception as chaotic and carried to the U S Embassy. He flew a Ryan monoplane with 430 gallons of fuel. The note contrasts his fuel efficiency with modern four engine jet liners burning far more fuel per hour.
