Walt Disney wanted Mickey Mouse to carry on with the 1927 "Spirit of St. Louis" flight by Charles Lindbergh.  And so Mickey does in Disney's 1928 film "Plane Crazy"...
Since a license and training were not required at the time, after reading a book on "How to Fly", Mickey builds his own plane and takes to the sky with Minnie .... Directed by Walt Disney and inspired by "Charles Lindbergh's Exploits" this was the First Mickey Mouse Cartoon created by Disney ....
It was  7:52 A.M., May 20, 1927 when Charles Lindbergh gunned the engine of the "Spirit of St Louis" and aimed her down the dirt runway of Roosevelt Field, Long Island. Heavily laden with fuel, the plane bounced down the muddy field, gradually became airborne and barely cleared the telephone wires at the field's edge. The crowd of 500 thought they had witnessed a miracle. Thirty-three and one half-hours and 3,500 miles later he landed in Paris, the first to fly the Atlantic alone.   On the evening of May 21, he crossed the coast of France, followed the Seine River to Paris and touched down at Le Bourget Field at 10:22P.M.
..... The waiting crowd of 100,000 rushed the plane. "I saw there was danger of killing people with my propeller and I quickly came to a stop." He became an instant hero... New York City gave Lindbergh 'theLone Eagle' the largest ticker tape parade ever and the president awarded him the Distinguished Flying Cross. His feat electrified the nation and inspired enthusiastic interest in aviation.
