Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Charles A. Lindbergh was famously known as "The Lone Eagle" and was the most notable news hero of the 1920s for his landmark solo flight across the Atlantic Ocean in 1927. Floyd Collins was a spelunker who gained national attention in 1925 when he was trapped in a cave in Kentucky and his rescue efforts were heavily covered by the media. Jack Dempsey was a famous boxer during the 1920s, but he was not known as "The Lone Eagle." John Scopes gained national attention in 1925 for his trial over teaching evolution in a Tennessee school, but he was not a news hero in the same way as Lindbergh.
