During the 1920s, many new famous heroes is sports and many other things began to arise. This was partially due to the fact that more and more people began to read the newspaper, which captured the excitement of everything that was going on in the world. For example, Babe Ruth became very popular for his many home runs. In past years, no single player had hit no more than 16 runs in a season, although Ruth had hit more than 25 almost every season he played. He topped off at 714 home runs throughout his career, something that had never before been seen making him a famous sports hero. Women were also taking steps in the sports world, with the famous tennis player Helen Wills and the first woman to swim across the English Channel, Gertrude Ederle.
Other new advancements that were taking place occurred in fields such as aviation. Planes at the time were mostly used to carry mail and only some carried passengers. Because planes were still new, they became very popular, and the pilots along with them. Charles Lindbergh became one of these heros when he flew nonstop from New York to France. The flight took more than 33 hours, but it was something that had not been done before. This became an era of great innovation, creating a leeway for today’s great feats.
