CHARLES LINDBERGH: that first trans-Atlantic flight. Win Perkins, a real estate appraiser who specializes in airport properties, has posted on his website a series of four videos he created of Charles Lindbergh's famous and risky takeoff in the "Spirit of St. Louis" on May 20,1927.

According to Perkins, he "painstakingly assembled news footage from five cameras that filmed Lindbergh's takeoff from Roosevelt Field, Long Island and mixed it with enhanced audio from the same newsreel sources." Here are the 4 videos, in order:
Part 1: Dead Men Flying
Part 2: A Sudden Change
Part 3: Well, Then, I Might As Well Go
Part 4: I'm Not Lindbergh!
How times have changed.
