Il a bien reçu l’aimable invitation, et aimerait
beaucoup assister à l’inauguration en mai
prochain du Lafayette Escadrille Memorial
en mai prochain. Il ne lui est pas possible
pour l’instant de dire s’il pourra être à Paris
à cette date…
In early 1929 Lindbergh delivered the first
airmail between North and South America
aboard a Sikorsky S-36 (finding the amphibious
plane better suited for an underdeveloped
region) and continued to pioneer many routes
for both Transcontinental Air Transport and
Pan-American Airways. The photograph
captures Lindbergh as he inaugurated the
seven-day airmail service at the end of April
and beginning of May 1930. The 7,000-mile
route, which he flew in a Sikorsky S-38, began
in Miami, and stopped in Cristobal, the Canal
Zone; Havana, Cuba; and Puerto Cabezas,
Nicaragua before arriving in Buenos Aries,
Argentina. To make the trip, Lindbergh flew
more than 1,000 miles per day, returning to
Roosevelt Field on May 3, 1930.

Lindbergh received the kind invitation
and would very much like to attend the
inauguration of the “Mémorial de l’Escadrille
La Fayette” in upcoming May. He does not yet
know whether he will be in Paris at that date.
The monument was erected in memory of
the fallen aviators during the First World
War and is located in Marnes-la-Coquette.
