Lindbergh Lands at Le Bourget
“Le Bourget Field, near Paris, May 21, 1927. The Spirit of St. Louis rolls to a stop as a vast crowd breaks through cordons. Foreground shows Lindbergh in flying helmet emerging into floodlights and grasping hands; midground reveals gendarmes overwhelmed by celebrants and journalists with flash powder; the airfield's beacon sweeps across a French night packed with cars and people.”
