Reply to comment by driedrot in TIL that Charles Lindbergh's "Spirit of St. Louis" aircraft had no front window due to fuel tank placement. The only forward vision was by a periscope. by p38-lightning
The NC-4 made the first transatlantic flight about a month prior to Alcock & Brown’s non-stop flight, but it is also not mentioned. I guess Lindbergh’s flight being solo really captured the public’s imagination.
