May 20-21, 1927- Transatlantic non-stop solo flight - Charles A Lindbergh, in Ryan NYP Spirit of St Louis, from Long Island to Paris, in 33h:32m (>33h:39m). Although 91 persons in 13 separate flights had crossed the Atlantic before him, he flew directly between two great world cities and did it alone. Incidental to that= flight, he also set several new intercity speed records in flying the Ryan from San Diego to New York.

May 19, 1917 - National aircraft insignia - A white star with a red dot in its center on a blue circle, and vertical red-white-blue stripes on the rudder was approved by the Army. This was temporarily replaced in Feb 1918 by a concentric red-blue-white circle until the end of World War I.

May 16-31, 1919 - Transatlantic flight - USN LtCdr Albert C Read and pilot Lt Walter Hinton, in Curtiss NC-4, one of a flight of three, from Long Island to Plymouth, England, via Newfoundland, the Azores, and Lisbon, 4,514 miles in 53h:58m.
