He investigated the German air force just before WWII, and said they were very advanced and capable (we should have paid more attention to this).
His baby son was kidnapped and killed, in New Jersey. A German immigrant carpenter was convicted of the crime and later executed.
But he was an isolationist during the 1940s-- he took the position that America should stay out of WWII in Europe and that the NAZI German takeover of Europe was not such a big deal that we should fight against Hilter over it.
He lived in semi-retirement a long time. I think he died in 1974 or so. His wife Anne, a pretty accomplished writer and author, lived much longer and died fairly recently (in the last 10 years? 15 maybe?)

Pilot
In 1927 Charles Lindbergh became the first person to make a solo flight nonstop across the Atlantic.
Charles Lindbergh's father was Charles August Lindbergh, a U.S. congressman and prominent aviator.
Charles Lindbergh's flight across the Atlantic ocean occured in 1927; the first atomic bomb dropped in 1945. Therefore, Charles Lindbergh's famous flight occured first.
Charles A. Lindbergh, Jr. was the son of famous pilot Charles Lindbergh. The 20 month old child was kidnapped on March 1, 1932 and held for ransom for ten weeks. A ransom of $50,000 was paid, but the information given was false. The child's body was found on May 20. This became known as The Crime of the Century.
