Born in Detroit, Charles Lindbergh grew up in Little Falls, Minnesota, where he developed his lifelong loves of nature and machinery. After a short stint at the University of Wisconsin, he went to Nebraska to learn how to fly. Lindbergh earned his place in history in May 1927 piloting the first solo, non-stop, transatlantic flight. He became an instant – and reluctant – global celebrity commemorated in songs, souvenirs, books and films.
