Lindbergh’s Early Flying Years and Barnstorming Trials
A memoir excerpt traces Charles A Lindbergh’s youth from schooldays in Wisconsin and Minnesota to early aviation feats. It details his attempts to join the Army Air Service, barnstorming across the Midwest, surviving crashes and parachute mishaps, and his first experiences with a Jenny plane before pursuing cadet training in 1924. He recounts dramatic jumps, a fatalistic brush with danger, and the social network of pilots and instructors shaping his path to becoming a Flying Cadet.
