The Flight across the Ocean (German: Der Ozeanflug) is a Lehrstück by the German dramatist Bertolt Brecht, inspired by We, Charles Lindbergh's 1927 account of his transatlantic flight in the plane Spirit of St. Louis.

Written for the Baden-Baden Music Festival, it was originally entitled Lindbergh's Flight (Der Lindberghflug) and premiered in 1929 with music by Kurt Weill and Paul Hindemith in a broadcast by the Frankfurter Rundfunk-Symphonie-Orchester under the direction of Hermann Scherchen and produced by Ernst Hardt.

[1][2] Shortly afterwards, Weill replaced the Hindemith sections with his own music and this new version (described as a "cantata for soloists, chorus and orchestra") opened at Berlin's Kroll Theatre on 5 December 1929, conducted by Otto Klemperer.

[3] In December 1949, Brecht removed Lindbergh's name from the play for an upcoming production by the Südwestrundfunk.

He also added a new preface denouncing Lindbergh's contributions to the technology of terror bombing as well as his wartime isolationism and his widely perceived Nazi sympathies.
