Atlantic Augustus Evangeline Lindbergh Solo Spirit Start 1927
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the historic moment before Charles Lindbergh embarked on his solo transatlantic flight in the Spirit of St. Louis, on May 20, 1927. In the image, Lindbergh, dressed in his flying gear, stands beside the iconic aircraft with his mother, Evangeline Lindbergh, looking on with a mixture of pride and concern. The Spirit of St. Louis, a single-engine monoplane, had already gained international attention due to Lindbergh's daring plan to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean, a feat that had never been achieved. The photograph was taken before Lindbergh's departure from Roosevelt Field in Long Island, New York, where a large crowd had gathered to bid him farewell. With the wind in his favor and the support of his mother and countless spectators, Lindbergh set off on his historic journey, determined to make aviation history. Evangeline Lindbergh, dressed in a simple, elegant dress and holding a hat, stands beside her son, her expression a mix of emotions as she watches him prepare for the flight that would take him thousands of miles away. The photograph captures the moment of anticipation and excitement, as well as the deep bond between mother and son, before Lindbergh embarked on his solo journey across the Atlantic. The successful completion of the flight on May 21, 1927, made Lindbergh an international hero and cemented his place in aviation history. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the courage and determination required to push the boundaries of human achievement, as well as the unwavering support of loved ones in the face of great adversity.
