4 comments about Lindbergh: Flight's Enigmatic Hero.
- There is not much in this book that I have not read before in other books. I found the organization to be a little confusing and repetitive. One of the timelines also gives the date of Hitler's suicide as 3 weeks after the end of WW2.
- This is essentially a "coffee table" book on Charles Lindbergh, not a conventional biography. It's a great introduction to the Lindbergh phenomeon and even buffs who own many a Lindbergh book will find much to appreciate here with the rare photographs. If you want gossip, criticism, or speculation, it's not here. What you get is a straightforward look at the man and particularly his public life and career and with so many of the recent Lindbergh books loaded with conjecture and agendas, that is a most welcome stance.
- This is not an in-depth biography. Rather, it is more of an overview of Lindbergh's life and accomplishments, in a nice format mixing text, charts, and photos.
Lindbergh is famous for his landmark 33-hour solo flight across the Atlantic in 1927. However, it was not successful due to him being "Lucky Lindbergh", but by having the right equipment at the time and good planning. The newly developed Wright engine proved to be much more reliable than previous engines, and the Ryan airplane was modified for the flight.
The book also touches on less well-known aspects of Lindbergh's life, such as his development of medical equipment, his on-and-off relationship with president Roosevelt and the military, his "civilian" combat duty in WWII, and his environmentalist viewpoints.
The book should appeal to the general population as well as to airplane and aviation buffs and historians.
- I ordered this book as a gift for a friend. It arrived in a timely manner and my friend really likes the book.
