Albert Lambert was born in Missouri and went into his father's pharmaceutical business, but he found his true love in the air. While visiting Paris in 1906, he became interested in ballooning, then in airplanes. In 1907, Albert helped form the St. Louis Aero Club to promote aviation, then helped form the first airport in the area. In 1923, he opened Lambert-St. Louis Flying Field. He also helped raise money to build The Spirit of St. Louis for Charles Lindbergh.
