Charles Lindbergh: the Lone Eagle [videorecording] Timeless Media Group presents.

Summary:

"For one virtually unknown American aviator, becoming the first to cross the Atlantic Ocean became an obsession. Where others had failed, Charles Lindbergh, The Lone Eagle, would take flight - alone, in a single-engine plane he helped design, with no radio on board, and so loaded down with fuel that it barely got off the ground...and become the most famous man in the world. His story is one of undeniable bravery and unwavering conviction. Flying from New York to Paris made him a hero and his subsequent pioneering flights all over the world made him an aviation legend. But his flirtations with Nazi Germany, his determined stance against entering WWII, and his public battles with FDR turned him into a pariah. However, after secretly fighting on the side of the Allies during WWII, his giant contributions to the world of science and flight, and his leading role in the early days of the conservation movement, he rose up again to be hailed as a true American Hero - flawed, brilliant, and one of a kind"--Container.
