Charles Lindbergh's Footprint
American aviator Charles Lindbergh was an adventurer who flew from New York to Paris in the propeller-driven Spirit of St. Louis, succeeding in making the first solo nonstop transatlantic flight.
In 1931, at the request of Pan American World Airways, he flew in a Lockheed Model 8 Sirius Tingmissartoq converted into a seaplane from New York to Alaska, and then on to Japan and China to survey a North Pacific route. Lindberg stopped by a floating landing strip at Najima, Higashi Ward, Fukuoka City at that time. Today there is a monument commemorating this in Fukuoka City.
