This is called the 'Gateway to the West' for the USA (and of course, for me).

Charles Lindbergh started his journey to go around the earth in his airplane called 'The Spirit of Saint Louis'. That was the way I heard about Saint Louis fro the first time. Charles Augustus Lindbergh(1902-1974), an American aviator, made the first solo nonstop flight across the Atlantic Ocean on May 20-21, 1927. 64 Other pilots had crossed the Atlantic before him. But Lindbergh was the first person to do it alone nonstop.
