The Charles Lindbergh Flight (26th Commemorative)

In an era of supersonic jets and bullet trains, of flights to the moon and Google Maps, Charles Lindbergh's legendary 33 hour and 30 minute solo flight across the Atlantic in the cramped cockpit of a one-engine plane continues to capture the imagination of the world. "Lucky Lindy's" stripped-down aeronautic design and courage made him an idol to the world. Lindbergh gave the Spirit of St. Louis to the Smithsonian where it has been on display for over 80 years.
