A propos de cet article

Foreword by Erik Lindbergh "The Most Lavishly Illustrated Biography of the Legendary Aviator and American Hero" One of the defining moments of the twentieth Century came on the night of May 21, 1927, when Charles Lindbergh landed his silver monoplane, the Spirit of St. Louis, at Le Bourget Airport outside Paris. Flying alone, Lindbergh had made a nonstop flight from New York across the storm-tossed North Atlantic - then considered an insurmountable barrier separating North America from Europe. Lindbergh's aerial feat struck his contemporaries as epochal, sparking an unprecedented outpouring of popular adoration of the new aviation hero. And for the next half Century, Lindbergh - the Lone Eagle - wrestled with the perils of celebrity, even as he championed a sequence of causes from commercial aviation to American neutrality in World War II, from scientific advances in medicine to the preservation of the environment. His life was punctuated by both triumph and tragedy. Making extensive use of Charles Lindbergh's own writings and hitherto-neglected memoirs of his close associates, Von Hardesty has fashioned a fresh assessment of the Lone Eagle and his enigmatic persona. Over 370 photographs and illustrations, many never before published, have been blended with Hardesty's lively narrative to capture the life and legacy of Charles Lindbergh. VON HARDESTY is a curator at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum, where he has worked for two decades in publications and exhibits on aviation history. He is the author of Red Phoenix: The Rise of Soviet Air Power, 1941-1945, among numerous other books and articles, and is currently the editor of the Cambridge Centennial of Flight series. Hardesty holds a doctorate in Russian history and has been a visiting fellow at the Russian Academy of Sciences and Oxford University. He lives with his wife on a farm near Staunton, Virginia. ERIK LINDBERGH, the grandson of Charles Lindbergh, is a commercial pilot and certified flight instructor. He is the vice President of the X Prize Foundation and a director of the Charles and Anne Morrow Lindbergh Foundation. Lindbergh is also an artist and the owner of Lindbergh Woodworks. He lives with his wife in a straw-bale house in Washington State. 232 p.
