Answer: The context of this cartoon is likely referencing the 1927 solo transatlantic flight of Charles Lindbergh, also known as the "Lone Eagle." Lindbergh became a national hero for being the first person to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean, flying from New York to Paris in his plane the "Spirit of St. Louis." This event was a significant moment in aviation history and captured the attention of the public. The cartoon may be making a comment on the temporary nature of fame and how quickly people can forget a hero.
