The Spirit of St Louis was a custom-built Ryan aircraft flown by Charles Lindbergh on May 20-21, 1927 on the first non-stop flight from New York to Paris. Lindbergh won the $25,000 Orteig Prize for the 33 ½ hour trip.
Nine St. Louis men financed Charles Lindbergh’s designs for a suitable plane to fly non-stop across the Atlantic Ocean from New York to Paris. Lindbergh tested the aircraft on May 10-11, 1927, when he flew the plane across the United States, from San Diego to New York City (stopping overnight in St. Louis).
