Ryan NYP "Spirit of St. Louis", piloted by Charles A. Lindbergh, 1927
Monoplane flown by Charles Lindbergh on May 20-21 1927 on the first solo nonstop transatlantic flight. Silver colored doped fabric covered high wing single radial engine monoplane. The " Spirit of St. Louis" was designed by Donald Hall under the direct supervision of Charles Lindbergh. It is a highly modified version of a conventional Ryan M-2 strut-braced monoplane, powered by a reliable 223hp Wright J-5C engine. Because the fuel tanks were located ahead of the cockpit for safety in case of an accident, Lindbergh could not see directly ahead, except by using a periscope on the left side or by turning the airplane and looking out a side window. The two tubes beneath the fuselage are flare dispensers that were installed for Lindberghs flights to Latin America and the Caribbean

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic Ryan NYP "Spirit of St. Louis" aircraft, piloted by the legendary Charles A. Lindbergh in 1927. This monoplane holds a significant place in aviation history as it was used for Lindbergh's groundbreaking solo nonstop transatlantic flight on May 20-21,1927. The silver-colored doped fabric covered high wing single radial engine monoplane was meticulously designed by Donald Hall under the direct supervision of Charles Lindbergh himself. It is an extensively modified version of the conventional Ryan M-2 strut-braced monoplane and is powered by a reliable 223hp Wright J-5C engine. One unique feature of this aircraft is its fuel tank placement ahead of the cockpit for safety purposes, which unfortunately obstructs Lindbergh's direct view ahead during flight. To overcome this challenge, he relied on a periscope installed on the left side or had to turn the airplane and look out through a side window. Notably, two tubes can be seen beneath the fuselage which are flare dispensers added specifically for Lindbergh's flights to Latin America and the Caribbean. Displayed at the National Air and Space Museum (NASM), this remarkable piece represents an era when aviation technology was rapidly advancing. The "Spirit of St. Louis" symbolizes courage, determination, and innovation that propelled humanity into new frontiers of air transport. As we admire this photograph print from Heritage Images, let us celebrate Charles Lindbergh's extraordinary achievement that forever changed our perception of what was possible in aviation history.
