This is one of the most famous photographs taken o This is one of the most famous photographs taken of Charles Lindbergh. This photograph was taken in 1927 in the month of February when the race was still on. What for? $25,000 was offered for the first to fly non-stop from New York to Paris. There was a little additional room in the engineer's office so they pushed a desk in so that Donald Hall and Charles Lindberg would be within arm's reach for the next 60 days. Donald Hall took this world famous photo... As Charles Lindbergh was figuring out oceanic navigation. With Donald 's recent expertise from the DWC Would Flight, they were confident. Donald stayed up for days (see his time chart 👇 ) straight to finish the initial layout and design So that the work Cruise could get started on something. The building and engineering of the "Spirit of St. Louis" was a giant jigsaw puzzle, choreographed with now famous production manager Hawley Bowlus, and empowered by the company owner: Frank Mahoney... All quarterbacked by Donald Hall, the Chief Engineer. And it succeed, now it hangs in the Smithsonian in Washington, DC. #flying #aviationhistory #spiritofstlouis #airshow #historyfacts #photography #famousphotographers #flyingovertime #pilotlife #charleslindbergh
