First solo transatlantic flight, 1927
First solo transatlantic flight. Computer artwork of the airplane Spirit of St Louis being flown in fog by Charles Lindbergh (1902-1974) on the first solo transatlantic flight. Lindbergh took off from Long Island, New York, USA, 20 May 1927, at 07:51 in the morning. He flew all that day and through the night. He reported flying through fog on the second day. He landed later that day, at night, in Paris, France, after a total of 33.5 hours in the air. The airplane was a steel monoplane, 8.5 metres long with a wingspan of 14 metres. The single nosecap propeller was powered by a Wright radial motor. The cockpit, below the wing, did not have a forward window, and a periscope was used to see what was in front of the airplane

31"x27" (79x69cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 31x27 inches (787x685mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This computer artwork captures a pivotal moment in aviation history - the first solo transatlantic flight undertaken by Charles Lindbergh in 1927. The sepia-toned image depicts Lindbergh's aircraft, the Spirit of St Louis, soaring through dense fog as it traverses the vast Atlantic Ocean. Lindbergh embarked on this daring journey from Long Island, New York, early in the morning on May 20th. Overcoming various challenges and poor visibility caused by foggy weather conditions, he persevered through an arduous flight that lasted for an astounding 33.5 hours. The monochrome illustration showcases the unique design of the steel monoplane with its impressive wingspan of 14 meters and a single nosecap propeller powered by a Wright radial motor. Notably, the cockpit lacked a forward window but was equipped with a periscope to aid Lindbergh's vision. This image not only pays homage to Lindbergh's pioneering spirit but also highlights his remarkable achievement in pushing boundaries within aviation technology during the early 20th century. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and determination as we continue to explore new frontiers in transportation and technological advancements. Science Photo Library presents this historic photograph print as a reminder of our collective progress and unwavering pursuit of innovation throughout history.
