Charlies Lindbergh
Charlies Lindbergh is a American aviator, author, inventor, an explorer and a social activist. He was awarded the Medal of Honor.
On January 5, 1928, Charlies and the Spirit of St. Louis flew from Tegucigalpa, Honduras to Managua, Nicaragua in 2 hours and 35 minutes.
Two days later, Charlies Lindbergh flew to Managua, Nicaragua to San Jose, Costa Rica in 3 hours and 25 minutes.
During World War II, Charlies was flying to Nazi-Germany (at the time) for information about the Germans. He flew many times and even was in conversation with Hitler at a party.
People in the United States were thinking that Lindbergh was with the Germans. Charlies was really thinking about moving into Germany. He said that he would rather see America with Germany than with the Soviet Union. But he was indeed American as he didn't move into Germany.
Charlies Lindbergh was born on February 4th, 1902 in Detroit, Michigan. He died on August 26th, 1974 in Kipahulu, Hawaii of lymphoma.
