The Spirit of St. Louis1957

Charles Lindbergh:
I take up a compass heading of 65 degrees out of New York, keep correcting the heading every 100 miles.

Benjamin Frank Mahoney, President Ryan Airlines Co.:
What happens over the water?

Charles Lindbergh:
Over the water I keep watching the waves, see which direction the wind's blowing in, allow for the drift...

Benjamin Frank Mahoney, President Ryan Airlines Co.:
And hope the Lord will do the rest.

Charles Lindbergh:
No, I never bother the Lord. I'll do the rest.

Benjamin Frank Mahoney, President Ryan Airlines Co.:
Might need a little help up there, don't you think?

Charles Lindbergh:
No, it will only get in the way.
