This is one of the most interesting videos I've seen come over the Internet. When you click on the address, episode #3 comes up ready to play.
I suggest you first click on "CONTACT" to the left and select #1, then watch them in order, #1 through #4. I was glued to the screen through all 4.
What guts it took for Lindbergh to overcome the odds against him and accomplish this amazing feat.

Select "Contact" after each clip to choose the next.

That's only the 4th time they've been posted on BCP! So, I watched them all again for the 4th time. Good stuff!

I'm glad it got posted again, as it was the first time for me. Imagine anyone on BCP getting in their plane, not sure if it will take off in all the mud, fly off into the mist, and go to Paris! (with NO GPS)

Same here. I downloaded them the first time and watch now and again.

Very cool footage, thanks for posting!

I recently came across criticalpast.com and have only scratched the surface of the old aviation footage they have. Couple of favorites so far...
