He's the male human who flew the spirit of st louis over the atlantic from the u.s. to paris. It was a 33 hour flight with just a map and compas. Which is a respectable endurance test, but I don't understand the incredible reception in Paris and then the ticker-tape parade when he get back to 1920s America.
I mean, big deal right. Why didn't they freak out over other shit like the first trans-atlantic zeplin flight or the first passenger flight. Things like that got 0 attention but Lindbergh got an off the charts reaction. I'm saying the reaction he got seems disproportionate compared to other feats in aeronautical history.
What's up with that? Were people gay for airplanes back then or what?
