The purpose of this trip was to pick up their new Sirius monoplane, which they would then fly back to New York. Lindbergh became the first true global celebrity—and sparked a worldwide craze for flying—with his 1927 nonstop solo flight from New York to Paris in the custom-built Spirit of St. Louis. With that plane donated to the Smithsonian Institution the following year, and with Lucky Lindy’s de-facto role as the global ambassador for aviation expanding by the month, he needed a new, more versatile plane to suit his expanding horizons. He turned to Lockheed which was already known as an innovative designer and manufacturer of some of the world’s finest and fastest aircraft.
