"Charles Lindbergh's life was a singular odyssey and many of his accomplishments, long hidden from the public, were a testament to his unique character. He was at the forefront of pioneering research in aeronautics and rocketry; his passion for conservation and anthropology led him to remote regions of Asia, Africa and the Americas, where he instigated changes in government policy; and his innovative medical work led to the development of a precursor to the articifical heart. He unfailingly encouraged the literary career of his wife, Anne Morrow Lindbergh - author of the perennial bestseller Gift from the Sea, who became one of the century's leading feminist voices and founded a successful… Leer más

Macmillan, Australia, 1998. First Australian Edition. Hardcover. Good Condition/Good. In May 1927 Lindbergh became the first solo pilot to cross the Atlantic non-stop. He had spent over 33 hours in the air and was feted as a new American hero. The media attention he received intensified in 1932 when his 20-month-old baby was kidnapped.
