I received this thru em recently and thought you might enjoy a bit of history... I was riveted by Win Perkin's video(s). Maybe you'll be, too -
Don't know how many of you have seen this but it is very good.

Great videos! This will keep you spellbound...

**Make sure to click on contact on the left side each time and view in order...

Win Perkins, a real estate appraiser who specializes in airport
properties, has posted on his Web site a video he created of Charles Lindbergh's famous and risky takeoff in the Spirit of St. Louis.

According to Perkins, this is unlike any other presentation of the takeoff footage. Perkins said 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."

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.

Looks like Lindbergh was flying by the seat of his pants and a compass.
The day looked foggy and visability wasn't good. Amazing that he took off that day at all.
