Lindbergh-Earhart


Lindbergh-Earhart

Today, Lindbergh started on his historic flight from Long Island to Paris. It was a technical tour de force that tens of thousands met him when he landed at Orly. He was actually more than just a flier, he was an engineer who wound up advising government projects. The kidnapping and murder of his infant son became the "crime of the century." His fall from grace happened when he took it upon himself to visit Hitler.
