Chamberl in? Nobody ever remembers the second person to do something.

Chamberlin was, however, the first to carry a passenger across the Atlantic. Now I have something new to write about.

I certainly don’t recognize the name with regards to aviation. Looking at this ad though, my main takeaway is that Lindbergh’s plane was way prettier.

At least Chamberlin’s had a front window. Lindbergh was sitting behind a giant gas tank. To be fair, the NY- P was purpose-built for the Atlantic crossing. He flew it for a few months for exhibitions, then handed it over to the Smithsonian.
