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

What guts it took for Lindbergh to overcome the odds against him, and accomplish this amazing feat!
