The book "Lindbergh" by A. Scott Berg (1998). I have been a fan of Charles A. Lindbergh since I first watched the 1957 movie "The Spirit of St. Louis." But I have also heard a lot of bad about the man. Also, I have heard from some that learning more about Lindbergh would not be worth one's time. But I disagree to some extent. While knowing the reality of a person may dispel the myth, we can still learn from the good and the bad. This particular biography was made with the blessing of the Lindbergh family and the author was given full access to the papers and journals of Charles Lindbergh and wife Anne Morrow Lindberg. Because of the material available at the time, some aspects of Lindbergh's life are omitted, such as the children which Lindbergh fathered out of wedlock while traveling the world in his later years. But the personalities of Mr. and Mrs. Lindbergh, the family tragedies, Lindbergh's self-imposed work ethic and travel schedule, and the other family dynamics, suggest that this part of Lindbergh's life was not out of the question.
What a book recommendation! Anyway, There is much to learn from this "first family of the air" and the world in which they lived. I recommend it for lovers of history and aviation.
