Lindbergh departed from Roosevelt Field in New York on May 20, 1927 in his plane, "Spirit of St. Louis", arriving in Paris after a 33 hour flight on May 21, 1927.

Charles Lindbergh arrived in Paris on May 21, 1927, after completing the first solo nonstop transatlantic flight. He flew from Roosevelt Field in New York to Le Bourget Field near Paris, France, a journey of approximately 3,600 miles. Lindbergh's aircraft, the Spirit of St. Louis, was a custom-built, single-engine monoplane designed for the long flight, and it had no provision for navigation instruments beyond basic essentials, reflecting the daring nature of the mission.

Lindbergh's historic flight took 33 and a half hours, during which he encountered challenging weather conditions, including fog, rain, and strong winds, making the feat even more impressive. His successful journey made him an international hero and earned him the Orteig Prize, a $25,000 reward for the first person to fly nonstop between New York and Paris.

Upon landing in Paris, Lindbergh received a hero's welcome, with large crowds gathering to greet him. His achievement was a major milestone in aviation history, demonstrating the potential for long-distance flight and helping to spark widespread interest in air travel. The flight also brought Lindbergh fame and a lasting legacy as one of the most significant pioneers of aviation in the 20th century.
