All Rights Reserved. 2 The Flight Of The "Lone Eagle" Charles Lindbergh, "Slim" to his friends, "Lucky Lindy" to the press, and finally "the Lone Eagle" to the world, set out to make the first nonstop flight from New York to Paris. Aside from the financial help of a few friends, he had only himself to rely on. It was one thing to get the idea that he could fly froni New York to Paris and quite another for Lindbergh to do it. First, he had to raise the necessary money. He wasn't rich, he wasn't famous and he didn't have wealthy friends. Second, he had to find a plane that could stay in the air long enough to make the flight. That wasn't a simple matter of contact­ ing an airplane manufacturer and offering to buy his longest range plane. There were no stock model planes with such a range. Third, he had to get the money and the plane and take-off before anyone else. Several other pilots with qualifications better than Lindbergh's (at least on paper) were already raising funds and having planes built for them. Raising the money - $10,000 was Lindbergh's first estimate - turned out to be the easiest of the three tasks. Lindbergh himself had saved $2,000. He went to Major Lambert, who ran Lambert Field in St. Louis, and got a quick promise of another $1,000. Then, after being turned down by the St. Louis Dispatch, Lindbergh went to Harry Knight, president of the St. Louis fly­ ing club. Knight eventually introduced him to Harold Bixby, of the State National Bank. Bixby listened to Lindbergh, considered the publicity value of the flight to the city of St. Louis and to avia­ ,.-.---."--,..~..-.-----.-.-..-.-----.-..--..-.--""""",-.-.-."--."""""--",,,,,,,,-.-..""'".-.~ tion, and weighed the $25,000 in prize money that a successful flight would bring.

However, this is a work in progress and I find that sometimes I miss things, or I may be inconsistent about what makes the cut and what doesn’t. I tend to leave out ads, announcements that get too close to ads (usually), contest announcements, and such. Contest reports, canone lists, etc. I include. Starting sometime, I think, in 2010, plans were bound into the newsletter. Before that, they came in an envelope with the newsletter but not attached to it, although in the late '80s there weren't so many and they were bound in the newsletter.
