One remarkable achievement stands out in making today's rapid, long-distance travel a reality: Charles Lindbergh’s transatlantic journey from New York to Paris.

Afterwards, aviation became an engine for commerce that tied the world together in ways even its most ardent supporters could have scarcely imagined.
