Charles Augustus Lindbergh (February 4, 1902 – August 26, 1974), nicknamed Slim,[1] Lucky Lindy, and The Lone Eagle, was an American aviator, military officer, author, inventor, explorer, and environmental activist. In 1927, at age 25, he went from obscurity as a U.S. Air Mail pilot to instantaneous world fame by making his Orteig Prize–winning nonstop flight from Long Island, New York, to Paris. He made the  33 1⁄2-hour, 3,600 statute miles (5,800 km) alone in a single-engine purpose-built Ryan monoplane, Spirit of St. Louis. This was the first solo transatlantic flight, and the first non-stop flight between the Americas and mainland Europe. An officer in the U.S. Army Air Corps Reserve, he received the United States' highest military decoration, the Medal of Honor, for the feat.[2]

His achievement powerfully boosted interest in commercial aviation and air mail, and he himself devoted much time and effort to promoting such interest
. In March 1932 his infant son, Charles Jr., was kidnapped and murdered in what was widely called the "Crime of the Century" and described by H. L. Mencken as "the biggest story since the resurrection."] The case prompted the United States Congress to make kidnapping a federal crime. By late 1935 the hysteria surrounding the case had driven the Lindbergh family into "voluntary exile" in Europe, from which they returned in 1939.
