Lindbergh lands

The Writer’s Almanac has a nice essay on Lindbergh’s flight on this, the 79th anniversary of his landing.

Or you can listen to Garrison Keillor relate the story [RealPlayer].

The New York Times story from 1927 is fun to read: Lindbergh Does It! To Paris in 33 1/2 Hours; Flies 1,000 Miles Through Snow and Sleet; Cheering French Carry Him Off Field
