This month marks the 90th anniversary of Charles Lindbergh's historic flight from New York to Paris. In 1927, Lindbergh became the first person to pilot a nonstop solo flight across the Atlantic, flying the Spirit of St. Louis for more than 33 consecutive hours.

Minnesota Historical Society exhibit developer Brian Horrigan talked about that storied flight and Lindbergh himself.
