Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. 229 pages. Name on ffepCharles A. Lindbergh astounded the world on May 21, 1927, with his successful solo flight from New York to Paris in The Spirit of St. Louis. Upon his return to the United States, he received an unprecedented welcome and was regarded as a hero to a generation of Americans who looked to the skies as a field of promise and progress. Lindbergh has been the subject of scrutiny and controversy ever s ince. Reflecting America's faith in technological advancement, Lindbergh saw The Spirit of St. Louis as a lens focused on the future, a forerunner of mechanisms that would conquer time and space. This youthful optimism was later tempered by personal tragedy-the kidnapping and murder of his first-born son-and by the thr eat of American involvement in a war abroad. But Lindbergh confronted these chal lenges, often at odds with his supporters, with the same daring and boldness of character that inspired him to undertake his fabled flight. In Lindbergh: Flight 's Enigmatic Hero, Von Hardesty, curator at the Smithsonian National Air and Spa ce Museum, takes another look at Lindbergh's life and offers new insights into t he man and the myths that surrounded him. Drawing from a variety of sources, he reveals how Lindbergh, though stubborn and absolutist in many ways, evolved in h is outlook and world view. With hundreds of full-color images and illustrations taken from a rich variety of private and public collections, Hardesty has produc ed a visually stunning and fascinating biography of one of the most important fi gures of the twentieth century. Published in Conjunction with the 75th Annivers ary of Lindbergh's Historic Transatlantic Flight More than 250 photographs, ill ustrations, and maps Never-before-published images and artifacts from Lindbergh.…

Foreword by Erik Lindbergh "The Most Lavishly Illustrated Biography of the Legendary Aviator and American Hero" One of the defining moments of the twentieth Century came on the night of May 21, 1927, when Charles Lindbergh landed his silver monoplane, the Spirit of St. Louis, at Le Bourget Airport outside Paris. Flying alone, Lindbergh had made a nonstop flight from New York across the storm-tossed North Atlantic - then considered an insurmountable barrier separating North America from Europe. Lindbergh's aerial feat struck his contemporaries as epochal, sparking an unprecedented outpouring of popular adoration of the new aviation hero. And for the next half Century, Lindbergh - the Lone Eagle - wrestled with the perils of celebrity, even as he championed a sequence of causes from commercial aviation to American neutrality in World War II, from scientific advances in medicine to the preservation of the environment. His life was punctuated by both triumph and tragedy. Making extensive use of Charles Lindbergh's own writings and hitherto-neglected memoirs of his close associates, Von Hardesty has fashioned a fresh assessment of the Lone Eagle and his enigmatic persona. Over 370 photographs and illustrations, many never before published, have been blended with Hardesty's lively narrative to capture the life and legacy of Charles Lindbergh. VON HARDESTY is a curator at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum, where he has worked for two decades in publications and exhibits on aviation history. He is the author of Red Phoenix: The Rise of Soviet Air Power, 1941-1945, among numerous other books and articles, and is currently the editor of the Cambridge Centennial of Flight series. Hardesty holds a doctorate in Russian history and has been a visiting fellow at the Russian Academy of Sciences and Oxford University. He lives with his wife on a farm near Staunton, Virginia. ERIK LINDBERGH, the grandson of Charles Lindbergh, is a commercial pilot and certified flight instructor. He is the vice President of the X Prize Foundation and a director of the Charles and Anne Morrow Lindbergh Foundation. Lindbergh is also an artist and the owner of Lindbergh Woodworks. He lives with his wife in a straw-bale house in Washington State. 232 p.
