About this book

Written within weeks of the 1927 flight that made him the most famous man alive, Lindbergh's account covers his solo crossing from New York to Paris and the years of flying that prepared him for it. He describes barnstorming, airmail routes, the building of the Spirit of St. Louis, and the thirty-three sleepless hours over the Atlantic, all in plain, unshowy prose. Having rejected a ghostwritten version as false in tone, he wrote the book himself at twenty-five, and it reads more like a pilot's report than a celebrity memoir. The result is a firsthand record of aviation at the moment it seized the world's imagination. Free PDF and EPUB editions are available here.

About the author

Charles A. Lindbergh

Charles A. Lindbergh (1902-1974) was an American aviator who, in May 1927, made the first solo nonstop flight across the Atlantic, from New York to Paris, aboard the Spirit of St. Louis. The feat turned him into a global celebrity and, in later years, a divisive public figure.
