Ryan NYP
Spirit of St. Louis
On 21 May 1927, Charles A. Lindbergh completed the first
solo nonstop transatlantic flight in history, flying this Ryan NYP. He
named this plane the Spirit of St. Louis in honor of his supporters
in St. Louis, Missouri, who paid for the aircraft. "NYP" is
an acronym for "New York-Paris."
