He wanted to make the plane as light as possible (less weight = MORE GAS).
Lindbergh knew that weight was critical, so he did everything possible to carry as little weight as possible - which meant carrying as few provisions as he could.

The airplane named Spirit of St. Louis was flown from Roosevelt Field in Garden City, Long Island, a few miles east of New York City, to Le Bourget Field in Paris by Charles "Lucky Lindy" Lindbergh.
Around May 1932, Charle's decomposed body was found a few yards away from the Lindbergh's family estate and autopsy ruled out that the Lindbergh baby sadly perished from a fractured skull and was possibly murdered shortly after he was abducted.

Anne Morrow Lindbergh. she only died a few years ago. contray to popular opinion Lindbergh was never romantically linked to Amelia Earhart, which many people falsely believe, from the shared occupation- and also the nickname Lady Lindy which could be falsely ilnterpreted to mean Lindbergh"s wife. Both sides Lindbergh and Morrow families were actively involved in -Politics! red visors are up!
Good question. They met a few times, but were not romanitically involved. Lindbergh had a sick ( old Army Game) appetite for practical jokes, and he pulled one involving dousing her with water ( from the Pacific, sorry !) as some sort of joke about an Ocean Hop. They were certainly not Romantioally inclined. Lindbergh"s wife lived until quite recent times. ( Anne Morrow Lindbergh)/
This was never firmly substantiated. after numerous tests the decomposed body was eventually cremated by the authorities, so we may never know exactly how Charles Jr died. It has been hinted the child was strangled, or died from impact trauma ( lilke the Nussbaum case).
Charles Lindbergh was an American pilot, author, inventor, explorer, and social activist. He is most well known for being the first to fly nonstop AND solo across the Atlantic Ocean from New York to Paris (he was not the first to fly across the Atlantic Ocean). A few of his nicknames were Slim, Lucky Lindy, and Lone Eagle. Much more information can be found by visiting the links below.
Cary Krell died of typhus on January 6,1945, a few weeks before her 9th birthday and liberation
She is no longer living. She died a few years ago, oddly around the same time Cowgirl Dale Evans died. naturally the celluloid cowgirl got more attention, posthumously, than the real life aviatrix and writer.
