查爾斯‧林白 (Charles Lindbergh) 於1927年6月11日得到十字飛行榮譽勳章 (Distinguished Flying Cross)

現在從紐約搭飛機飛到巴黎已經不是稀奇的事情了，但是第一次有人這樣做的時候，卻是相當轟動且使人驚奇的！

第一個完成獨自飛越大西洋飛行的人就是查爾斯‧林白。西元1927年5月，林白駕駛他的單翼機聖路易精神號 (Spirit of St. Louis) ，從紐約飛到法國的巴黎。他花了33個半小時完成了這趟旅程。


Today it may not seem very impressive to fly from New York to Paris, but the first time it happened, it was extraordinary!
