I believe that someone not too long ago tried to copy Lindberghs solo flight across the Atlantic, using original methods, which included Astro
Lindbergh used DR - his plan was to load enough fuel for 40 hours of flight, on the basis of 'I can't miss the whole of Europe'. The aircraft was fitted with a drift meter but no other nav aids or even radio. In the account of the flight in his book 'The Spirit of St Louis' he admits that achieving landfall over Ireland within a few miles of his plan was just good luck.
Lindbergh's book was an inspiration for me. I'd been a plane-spotter as a kid (living near to the 28L OM) but it was after reading the SoSL as a 19-year-old that I decided 'I have to learn to fly'. The book won a Pulitzer prize in 1952.
It was disappointing years later to discover that CL had unsavoury political views. But every few years I put my misgivings to one side and re-read SoSL. That book launched me on a career in aviation (Leeds UAS 1967) which is not yet concluded.
