May 20, 1927 –
Charles Lindbergh took off from Roosevelt Field in Long Island, N.Y.,
at 7:40 AM aboard the Spirit of St. Louis on his historic solo flight to France on this date
Exactly five years later, on May 20, 1932, Amelia Earhart took off for Ireland from Habor Grace, Newfoundland on this date, becoming the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean.
She would later land her plane in Ireland after a thirteen-hour, thirty-minute flight from Canada rather than in her intended destination, France.
And so it goes
