Despite an international search, no trace of the men or their airplane was ever found. Two weeks later, American aviator Charles Lindbergh, flying solo, successfully crossed from New York to Paris and was given an immense hero's welcome by the French, even as they mourned for the loss of Nungesser and Coli. During Lindbergh's triumphal tour, he called on Madame Laure Nungesser, Charles Nungesser's mother, and graciously said that her son's goal had been more difficult than his. Like everyone else Lindbergh believed that if anyone could have crossed the Atlantic, it would have been Nungesser.
