Lindbergh Early Flight Career Chronicle
The piece chronicles Charles A Lindbergh born in Detroit on February 4, 1902, his early schooling, family background, and a string of aviation trials from barnstorming wing walks to early solo attempts. It notes budget limits delaying a bond for a crash, a dangerous 1800 foot jump, and a sequence of landings, crashes, and the first passenger as he pursues flying opportunities across Florida and Texas, with paralyzing close calls and parachute experiments along the way.
