>For the real story of the Alantic flight you have to read Lindberg's ownbook, "The Spirit of St. Louis". I checked it out of our local library andfound it a facinating account.>>ScottScott- You are sure right about this ! I remember 20 years ago goingto our high school library on my free periods and just absorbing thatbook little by little. It was like sitting in the cockpit with Lindbergh.The other kids thought I was nuts.Mike C. ________________________________________________________________________________

Hi Mike: Have also been an "airplane geek" since high school. Paid $1200.00 for aPiper Vagabond instead of a car my Senior year and was absorbed in Lindbergh. He is buried in the church yard cemetery of a small church in Heavenly Hanaon the island of Maui, Hawaii, that has a beautiful cliffside view of the sea.Have also visited the channel island of Sark where he took his family after thekidnapping. He put in his own airstrip and planted a long row of trees for awindbreak that is still there. His W.W.II escapades as a P-38 factory flyerare pretty exciting too. And his later years as a scientist and south seaisland anthropologist are pretty neat too. Enough.Best Regards,Warren________________________________________________________________________________

Group...Back in about 1954, Jimmy Stewart played C. Lindbergh in a pretty good, ifsomewhat "Hollwoody" movie called "The Spirit of St. Louis." It's definitelyworth seeing, and can easily become part of one's film library, on tape.Don C.________________________________________________________________________________
