LINDBERGH what ivas it he did FIRST? AHALF.SCORE years ago Lindbergh lest thaa twelve months after his 3610 mile leap to fame made avia tion history on a California mountain. We now celebrate the tenth anniversary of that occa sion the lighting of the ten. million candle-power beacon established on Mt. Diablo by this Company as one of its several early contributions to safety aloft. In aviation ten years is a cen tury. No wonder it's now the most startling remark you can make in many groups to say truthfully that nearly a hun dred men flew the Atlantic be fore Lindbergh. Yet there were the Navy flyers in 1919 re member? Alcock and Brown the 60-odd men of the British dirigible R-34. , But Lindbergh was first to fly the Atlantic alone. Millions ar gued whether the motor's hum would put a lone flyer to sleep. Millions debated whether he could navigate and pilot too, alont over a night-bound ocean. Like Lindbergh, the peak from which this beacon still gleams stands unique alone a "solo" mountain just east of San Francisco Bay-r-its view tha most expansive in the world. No beacon shows more dis tantly. Thousands of flyers have ' guided on it. Thousands still do as it flashes above all other hilltops, usually above fog, al most above the night to happy landings.
