Charles Lindbergh is the chief subject of the book. He was an aviation pioneer, author, conservationist, and businessman. He is perhaps best known for being the first man to make a solo flight across the Atlantic Ocean, from New York to Paris, in May 1927. Lindbergh, then twenty-five, designed his own plane for the trip, The Spirit of St. Louis.
