In lots of ways, Charles Lindbergh represented the best and most detrimental of America through the first 50 percent of the 20th century. Lindbergh became well-known for as an aviation pioneer whose single flight across the Atlantic captured the creativeness of a whole world, yet he was an isolationist who wished to keep American freedoms safe for Americans and no one else. Lindbergh was the quintessential family man, yet he fathered illegitimate children and suffered an unspeakable tragedy that became known as "The Criminal offense of the Century". Lindbergh embodied some of his era's biggest virtues and harbored some of its most detrimental prejudices. Lindbergh was a 25-year-old US Air Mail pilot who was simply probably best known for two crashes before shooting to fame with his non-stop flight across the Atlantic from New York City to Paris on, may 20-21, 1927. Lindbergh was Time Mag's first Man of the entire year in 1927, and he used his newfound fame to promote the introduction of commercial flight and become a spokesman and image for advances in aviation. Tragically, Lindbergh was the subject of front page headlines in 1932 when his newborn son, Charles, Jr., was kidnapped and murdered in the "Crime of the Century". After entering voluntary exile in European countries, Lindbergh found himself embroiled in scandals as he toured German (and Luftwaffe) aviation systems and took isolationist stances, at times making comments which were tinged with anti-Semitism and and only eugenics. Nevertheless, after Pearl Harbor, Lindbergh was turned down from serving in the armed forces, likely because Chief executive Roosevelt thought he was a Nazi sympathizer. But Lindbergh worked well his way through administrative and technological positions to give himself the possibility to travel about 50 combat missions in the Pacific, impressing his co-workers with his soaring abilities and technological know-how. After World War II, as Lindbergh started out to fade from the limelight, he took up lots of triggers, writing literature and encouraging environmental initiatives. The controversies started out to fade as well, so when he passed on in 1974, he was remembered fondly for the Nature of St. Louis and sympathetically for the Criminal offense of the Century. History for Kids: An Illustrated Biography of Charles Lindbergh for Children chronicles the amazing life and profession of Lindbergh, his biggest highs & most notorious lows, and everything in between. Your children will learn about "Lucky Lindy" like nothing you've seen prior.
