The glossary includes four pages of such words and unless you are familiar with their usage regarding flight the reading can become cumbersome.I believe A. Scott Berg's book entitled "Lindbergh" is the definitive biography on Charles Lindbergh and this latest book "The Flight" by author Dan Hampton would still be recommended reading. It covers quite well the agony of staying awake for thirty-three and a half hours. I never realized The Spirit of St. Louis didn't have any windows in front and Lindbergh had to look through a periscope to see in front of the plane.Lindbergh had no idea he was to receive the welcome that Paris provided him and rather than let him go to sleep and get some rest he was taken on a tour of the city. Later he visited other European cities and wanted to fly back but the plane was disassembled and he and the plane returned by ship to the United States. Lindbergh always referred to himself and the plane as "We" rather than use the singular pronoun "I" in regard to what was accomplished. Rather than getting some rest the evening prior to his departure from New York Lindbergh attended a Broadway play in New York. This, he admitted, was a mistake.The book briefly covers the remainder of his life such as the kidnapping of his child, his opinions about America's involvement in foreign wars, and his fifty combat missions in World War II. Charles Lindbergh passed away in 1974 and is buried on the island of Maui in Hawaii. The book contains sixteen pages of photographs. The most interesting one to me is a photo of the cockpit of The Spirit of St. Louis. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good deal *by G***L on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 23, 2022* Good book ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is definitely a book written for the pilot. *by A***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 15, 2019* This is definitely a book written for the pilot. Yes, the author writes about his family history, how he grew up, got into flying and the aftermath of his historic flight, but first and foremost it is about the flight, the aerodynamics of the plane, fundamental’s of piloting, navigation and the concerns most pilots can associate with and appreciate. In addition he introduces the reader to a Charles Lindbergh I think most readers did not know. Yes he grew up on a farm in the midwest, but his father became a congressman and he spent many years growing up in Washington, DC. He became aware of the roll politics can play in our society, and hoped that it could help advance the progress of aviation in this country. The rolls of the French and American governments in extracting him from the mobs at Le Bourget and the immediate aftermath of the flight are insightful. The author does fill in the rest of his life events that most are familiar with, but gives perspective to them that reflect on the character of Lindbergh. It makes you wonder how you could have handled the total change in life that occurred after his 36 hours in the air. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/138611707-the-flight-charles-lindberghs-daring-and-immortal-1927-transatlantic-crossing](https://www.desertcart.us/products/138611707-the-flight-charles-lindberghs-daring-and-immortal-1927-transatlantic-crossing) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-05-22*
