    Read the story and answer the questions.

    Charles Lindbergh

    The first person to fly across the Atlantic ocean was


    Charles Lindbergh. Lindbergh flew in a plane called the Spirit
    of St. Louis. The plane was built in San Diego, California. He
    tested the plane by flying from San Diego to New York, with an
    overnight stop in St. Louis. Although other pilots had tried to cross the Atlantic, their planes had
    crashed into the ocean and they were never seen again. Lindbergh left the United States in his
    plane on May 20, 1927. He departed from Long Island, New York. The trip over the Atlantic Ocean
    was a dangerous one. If there had been any problems with the plane, there would not have been
    any place to land. During the long journey, he had to force himself to stay awake. The total length
    of his flight was 33 hours. After crossing the ocean, the first land he saw was the coast of Ireland.
    When he landed near Paris, France, thousands of cheering people greeted his plane.
