My Dad sent me this link. That was one long takeoff roll!
I don't know who wrote this, but it sums up the link well:

Charles Lindbergh's flight

Win Perkins, a real estate appraiser who specializes in airport properties,
has posted on his web site a video he created of Charles Lindbergh's famous
and risky takeoff/flight in the Spirit of St. Louis on the competitive
trip to Paris.

According to Perkins, this is unlike any other presentation of the takeoff
footage.

Perkins said he "painstakingly assembled news footage from five cameras
that filmed Lindbergh's takeoff from Roosevelt Field, Long Island "and
"mixed it with enhanced audio from the same newsreel sources."

He had approx 3600# of fuel on board. Would have been a hell of a BBQ if he hadn't made it!

That's a great clip.
