Charles Lindbergh

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)/

The Spirit of St Louis was built around the Wright J-5C "Whirwind" engine.

Both made solo flights from north America to Europe.

Lindbergh flew a specially built Ryan NYP. Lindbergh liked the Ryan M2, a popular mail plane, ( Lindbergh had been a US Airmail pilot ) but needed too many special differences for his Atlantic flight. Ryan Aircraft in San Diego built him the NYP for $10,800. This had a new Wright Whirlwind J-5C 223-hp radial engine. Lindbergh had liked the idea of 2 engines for reliability but a single engine offered less weight and more range. His NYP was designed to carry 450 gallons of aviation gas. This would give him over 4,000 miles range. Lindbergh named his aircraft "Spirit of St. Louis" for his main financial supporters.

The name of the boat was "Nelly"

Bruno Hauptmann was a German-American carpenter who was tried and convicted for the kidnapping of the Charles Lindberg baby. He was ultimately executed.

It is true, Bruno Richard Hauptmann was tried, convicted, and killed for the kidnapping/killing of the famous aviator's baby, but he was really innocent. At the time, it looked as though in some points he was guilty, but later research has shown that he was innocent. Some people believed even then that he was innocent, and also, today some people believe he was guilty. I believe strongly - although I don't know who REALLY commited the crime - that Mr. Richard (he was called Richard, but yellow journalism promoted the name Bruno because it seemed more criminal-like) Hauptmann was innocent and murdered at a young age.

he was a German carprter how got acused of murder of 20 year old Charles Augustus Lindbergh Jr.,

Anyone who seriously studies the Lindbergh case knows Hauptmann was guilty as charged. The wood from the ladder came from his attic; he misspelled the same words the same way for the police as in the ransom letters; he was found with the marked money in his garage; he quit his job 3 days after the kidmapping but had plenty of spending money after the ransom was paid. There is no real doubt he was guilty; that's why his widow's appeals never went anywhere.

Charles A. Lindbergh made the first SOLO, non-stop flight across the Atlantic Ocean 20-21 May 1927

Lindbergh landed at Le Bourget Field in Paris, France, which was at the time Paris' only airfield.

Charles Lindbergh was

He made the first solo nonstop flight across the Atlantic Ocean in 1927.

The Spirit of Saint Louis.

The nickname Lone Eagle derived from his solo transatlantic flight. the not so honorary (Von Lindemann) may have been his real name- and alluded to his involvement with the German Bund. I think Von Lindemann has a neat, Teutonic ring!

A+ 1933

Without any formal party endorsement, Lindbergh sure went through all the motions- without actually declaring candidacy. He was believed to have been connecterd ex-officio with the German-American Bund ( federation)- a Nazi Organization. actually any involvement in elective politics by an active duty officer of the Us Armed Forces- which he was- a Colonel- a Field-Grade officer ., violated Mil Regulations of the time- since probably intensified. retirees are another matter- witness Eisenhower.- but it is against the law for a Commissioned officer of the Us Military ( all branches) to run for active political office while in service time.
