\"Lindbergh<\/p>\n

After his historic flight across the Atlantic Ocean, Charles Lindbergh gave this gavel to Keystone Lodge #243. The gavel is made from the wood propeller of Lindbergh’s famous plane, “The Spirit of St. Louis,” and is now on display in the Masonic Museum in Columbia, Missouri.<\/p>\n

American aviator, author, inventor, military officer, explorer, and social activist. In 1927, at the age of 25, Lindbergh emerged from the virtual obscurity of a U.S. Air Mail pilot to instantaneous world fame as the result of his Orteig Prize<\/a>-winning solo nonstop flight from Roosevelt Field on Long Island, New York, to Le Bourget Field in Paris, France. He flew the distance of nearly 3,600 statute miles in a single-seat, single-engine, purpose-built Ryan monoplane, Spirit of St. Louis<\/a>. Lindbergh was the 19th person to make a Transatlantic flight, the first being the Transatlantic flight of Alcock and Brown from Newfoundland in 1919, but Lindbergh’s flight was almost twice the distance. The record-setting flight took 33\u00a0<\/span>1<\/sup>\u20442<\/sub><\/span> hours. Lindbergh, a U.S. Army Air Corps Reserve officer, was also awarded the nation’s highest military decoration, the Medal of Honor, for his historic exploit.<\/p>\n
