Sarrazin said: "I spoke no
English and he spoke no
French We shook hands To
reassure him I said: Here
Paris. Le Bourget."
"His smile relaxed com-
pletely, happy to have achiev-
ed his transatlantic flight. For
a few moments we were the
only two people on the field.”
After that events moved
quickly. "The airport s chief
electrician,. Andre Bracon-
nier, put on the lights and I
saw coming along at high
speed a string of large
automobiles which revealed a
great deal of "brass” (higher
officers) from an aviation
regiment stationed nearby. In
the twinkling of an eye they
kidnapped Lindbergh as I was
about to steer him and his
plane to a nearby hangar for
safety.’’
Just then an immense
clamor arose. The crowd, for-
cing the police barrier, was
rushing across the field to see
this shining hero and tear off I
pieces of the fuselage of the
Spirit of Saint Louis asj
souvenirs. The frightened
Sarrazin tried to
vanguard off, even punched a
few of his compatriots in the
nose, when luckily the police
appeared in numbers and
Sarrazin, with his mechanics,
towed the Spirit of St. Louis to
safety.
How large a crowd was
there at Le Bourget on that
unforgettable night May 21
waiting for the arrival of the
young American in his little
monoplane? They had come in
automobiles, on bicycles, by
tramcars, on foot.
The following four days
Sarrazin, who had been put in
charge of the overhauling of
the Spirit of St. Louis, was
hard at work with his crew
checking the motor and
repairing-the torn fuselage.
Meantime
Lindbergh was being feted,
lauded by the whole world as
the hero of aviation. The day
before he was due to fly to
Brussels on the first of a
ficult to gauge how long it
would take the "flying fool”
PARIS - (NEA) - For 79- ] (as he was eventually affec-
year old Fernand Sarrazin, tionately known) to reach Le
retired chief mechanics of- Bourget. He had no radio on
ficer after 44 years of service board, i figured something
with Air France, the night of ]jke 45 minutes. And where
May 21,1927 is still fresh in his and how would he land?”
I memory. | As an old hand, Sarrazin
; That was the night when j gathered he would land "nose
Charles A, Lindbergh made a | jn the wind.’’“So at 10 p.m.,”
perfect landing at the Paris
airport of Le Bourget. He had
just accomplished the most
spectacular, heroic nonstop
solo flight New York-Paris in
33.5 hours. Up in the sky/
without any contact with any
human voice, with what are
now considered the most
rudimentary controls for such i
an achievement, he made it. !

he continued. "I began walk-

which was across from the
airport structure, where
someone had switched on the

was all grass, no runways
then, no projectors on the
ground. At 10:15 I heard

“I started running as hard
as I could, guided by the
sparks flying out of the ex-
haust. The plane made a
perfectly smooth landing.
“Lindbergh had opened the
window opposite the pilot’s
seat and I saw him, complete-
ly numbed after those 33 hours
of flying and deafened by the
motor’s backfire.”
