The Beatles would have been the only thing to make the 1920s even better!


Charles Lindbergh was very important to the 1920s. Lindbergh did several things, for one, he flew from the United States (specifically New York) to Paris, France in a nonstop, solo flight. Also, he flew 50 combat missions in April of 1944. Another important thing he did was he tried to withdraw from the public when he was a growing celebrity, something that the press did not understand. Lindbergh was important because he did something no one else could do, which was that he flew across the Atlantic in a nonstop solo flight, something that several people had been hurt or died trying to do. He goes along with theme five: the public life is the private life. This is because he wanted his fame to end, when the press and public just wanted to write everything about his life-both public and private. He moved to other countries but paparazzi were everywhere, so he could never have the quiet life he would have wanted.
