Lindbergh Sleeps On His Feet as Paris Cheers Him Well, Here We Are, Is Tired Fliers Greeting Upon Arrival, First Man to Fly From New York to Paris Without Changing His Seat; Lifted From Plane by Joy-Crazed Throng Fingers Tremble With Fatigue as He Shakes Hands With Notables Too Weary To Do More. 1927 PARIS, May 21. By The Associated Press. Captain Charles A. Lindbergh, the young American aviator, who hopped off from New York yesterday morning all alone in his monoplane, arrived in Paris tonight, safe and sound, as everyone hoped he would. The sandy-haired son of the middle west dropped down out of the darkness at Le Bourget flying field, a few miles from Paris, at 1021 oclock tonight 521 p. m. New York time only 33 hours after leaving Long Island the first man in history to go from New York to Paris without changing his seat. To the young American it was seemingly merely an achievement of an ambition. To Paris, to France, to America, to the world, his landing tonight made him the greatest of heroes mankind has produced since the air became a means of travel.
