	Straight Dope Staff Report: Did others fly across the Atlantic before Lindbergh?
		Likewise Lindbergh is rightly famous for being the first man to fly solo across the Atlantic--and for breaking the non-stop distance record in an airplane, and for winning the Orteig Prize, and for being the first to fly an airplane nonstop from the mainland of North America (sort of) to the mainland of Europe.
		And of course he won the $25,000 prize offered by Raymond Orteig for the first flight in an airplane (solo or not) from New York to France.
		What isn't so well known is that he was not strictly eligible for the Orteig Prize because he started a week or two less than 60 days after registering with the prize committee.
