The flying fool
I ask you to drink to this health as a young man full of the spirit of adventure who has lit up the world with a flash of courage.” With these words ,the British Minister of Air turned and raised his glass to the young man who sat beside him—a young man who ,only a month before ,was completely unknown .Yet on first man to fly the Atlantic alone.
He had been an air mail pilot,flying back and forth between Chicago and the city of St.Louis.Determined to win the $25,000 prize offered by a fellow-American for the first flight from New York to Paris,Lindbergh had persuaded a group of St.Louis businessmen to finance the building of a special plane for him.
The news that Lindbergh intended to fly the Atlantic alone was received with disbelief.The plane would never fly,people said .It would run out of fuel.It had only a single engine.Lloyds of London refused to in sure the flight.Men called Lindbergh the ‘flying fool’.
But on May 20th,1927,just after ten to eight in the morning ,Lindbergh ‘s ‘spirit of St.Louis’,heavily laden with fuel,struggled into the air from a New York airfiekd.For several hours the weight of the petrol prevented the young pilot from flying more than a few feet above the wave-tops.Night came and thick fog covered up the stars.Lindbergh flew steadily on,hoping that his course was the right one.He struggled to keep awake,checking the fuel all the time to keep his mind active.Throughout the next day the ‘Spirit of St.Louis’ flew on over the seemingly limitless sea.Then a fishing boat appeared,and ,an hour later,land.It was Ireland.Lindbergh set a compass course for Paris.
By ten o’clock the lights of France ‘s capital were shining beneath him.Tired,unshaved,suddenly hungry,the ‘flying fool’ came down to Le Bourget airport,and landed in front of a huge crowd of wildly cheering people .After 34 hours of continupis piloting,the flight of 3,600 mile was over.
