Charles Lindbergh was one of the best known aeronautical figures in the history of America. Charles lived his childhood in Little Falls Minnesota and in Washington D.C. As he was attending the university of Wisconsin, his rising interest in aviation led to him to enroll in a flight school located in Lincoln, Neb. When he was in college, Charles dropped out to join aviation classes, and later became a U.S air mail pilot. His biggest achievement was a 33 hour nonstop flight from New York to Paris, France. This achievement was a big one, considering it had never been done before, and it was for a prize of $25,000!

As Charles was flying with U.S air mail he gained financial backup from a couple of St. Louis businessmen. These men entered Charles in the contest to fly straight from New York to Paris. It states that " Overnight Lindbergh became a folk hero on both sides of the Atlantic and a well-known figure in most of the world." This gained reputation for U.S air mail and it helped him become more successful. He made this 33 hour flight in his monoplane the Spirit of St. Louis. A monoplane is a plane with a single pair of wings which holds only one person. During the 1920's Charles Lendburgh revolutionized the art of planes and made it possible for traveling across the world by plane.

Charles Lindbergh started as a man who dreampt about being a pilot, and his dreams were made true when he entered a contest produced by Raymond B. Orteig, "in 1919 for the first nonstop flight between New York City and Paris." The reason and force behind Charles getting this opportunity was receiving financial backing by St. Louis businessmen. The reaction by Americans was simple, this flight had never been done before. Whenever something new happens, there's almost always a response to it.

As of where Charles belongs on the continuum, he was an event making hero. He himself made the event flying to Paris and it made him a hero. A few days before, " famous French flying aces Charles Nungesser and François Coli had perished in their attempt to fly from Paris to New York. Charles had the element of practice, " Before this flight Charles " flew from San Diego to St. Louis; and on May 12, he reached New York, setting a new coast-to-coast record. " His corporation did not have much of a factor on Charles as the event did not relate to the mail, he built up to this flight. Also the mail did not financially back him in this flight. Charles was an event making hero for sure, and he had the impact of one too.
