Ticker tape parades are generally held in the section of lower Broadway through the Financial District and is commonly known as what?

On June 13th, 1927, an estimated 4 million people lined the parade route to celebrate what pilot who had complete the first-ever solo airplane flight across the Atlantic Ocean?

On April 20, 1951 the city holds what is thought to be the largest ticker tape parade ever celebrating this Korean War General?
