Charles Lindbergh.
Time magazine’s first “Man of the Year,” now known as “Person of the Year,” was Charles Lindbergh in 1927. Charles Lindbergh was an American aviator who made the first solo nonstop flight across the Atlantic Ocean in May 1927. This 33.5-hour trip from New York to Paris brought him international fame and recognition, leading to his selection as Time’s inaugural “Man of the Year.” The award is given to the person who, for better or for worse, has most influenced the news during the past year.
