 In May 1927, at least four different people were planning to fly between New York and Paris. On the morning of 20 May, none of them had done so, yet Lindbergh took off from New York in his small plane. It was heavy with fuel and it seemed it would never get off the ground. Lindbergh hit several wet spots on the airfield and bounced dangerously. He got into the air just in time to avoid a tractor and some telegraph wires at the end of the field. For the first eleven hours he flew along the Atlantic coastline. When he turned towards the open ocean, he had flown almost as far and as long as Alcook and Brown had in 1919.It was getting dark and the worst part of the flight was just beginning.
