...announced in the issue of Jan. 2, 1928. He was Charles Augustus Lindbergh, who eight months before had soloed the Atlantic in 33½ hours. Since then, the annual choice by TIME'S editors has become a journalistic tradition. The choice is neither an accolade nor a moral judgment: Hitler was Man of the Year in 1938.

Yet 15 years earlier, few had doubted that he was a genius.
