Lindberg Contributions

Imagine a child being kidnapped in the middle of the night. Anne and Lindbergh were living in their recently built mansion in a remote area of Sourland Hills near Hopewell, New Jersey when Bruno Hauptmann's, on the night of March 1, 1932, kidnapped and murdered Charles Lindbergh’s son. In the controversial court case of the “Lindbergh Kidnapping,” the guilty verdict correctly prosecuted Hauptmann with key evidence: the ladder, ransom notes, and ransom money.

One of the greatest heroes the world has ever known Charles Augustus Lindbergh. He is most famous for his transatlantic flight from New York to Paris. Lindbergh acquired great fame for doing “good will” tours in Latin America. Other than politicians and war heroes no one has yet quite matched his fame. He was a genus when it came to aviation and mechanics. He advised the making and design of several planes from ones made of wood and wire to supersonic jets. He helped several countries and airlines by giving them advise on their air fleets. He wrote several documents of his journeys and of his life.

With his new found fame, Lindbergh spent much of his time in promoting the aviation field while going around the United States with his iconic plane the Spirit of St. Louis. While visiting various cities in the US, he would participate in countless parades as well as give speeches. His fame grew to such height that he was soon regarded as an international celebrity who was nicknamed “Lucky Lindy” and “The Lone Eagle”. By 1927 he released a book entitled “We”, about his historic flight which quickly became a bestseller. Throughout all his rising fame and influence, Lindbergh had always stuck to helping the aviation industry as well as other causes which he felt important.

The 1920s was a decade of drastic change in the United States, with many new conflicts, leisure activities, and heroes to worship (Nash 374). Charles Lindbergh was one of these heroes. Born in 1902, he was trained in aviation and worked as an airmail pilot (Bishop). Later, he made history by becoming the first person to fly across the Atlantic Ocean alone (Nash 388). On May twenty-first, 1927, Lindbergh traveled from New York to Le Bourget field in Paris in his plane, the Spirit of St. Louis (James). He designed this plane himself, working to make it as small and lightweight as possible (Kessner “Charles Lindbergh, A New Hero”). Known as the “lone eagle”, Lindbergh became one of the biggest celebrities of the era (Chamberlain). His flight caused more excitement than any other event of its time (Nash 388). Approximately 25,000 people were at Le Bourget field to watch Lindbergh land (James). Upon returning to the United States, there were numerous parades and dinners to honor his achievement (“Lindbergh Visit Ends”). Charles Lindbergh was the most influential hero to emerge from the 1920s, making an impact by transforming aviation, as well as acting as a role model for the American public and encouraging a return to the old way of American life.

“Lucky Lindy” has been on a high since he made the first solo nonstop flight across the Atlantic Ocean on May 20, just three years ago. Although other pilots have crossed the Atlantic before as well, Lindbergh has become the first one to do it non-stop and by himself. His flight has amazed people all around the world and he was awarded the medal of honor by President Coolidge a year later.

Columbus and Lindbergh had different hopes of achievement for their voyages. Both Columbus and Lindbergh had achievements they hoped to succeed at but different reasons of why. Columbus was determined to find a water route from Europe to Asia, Lindbergh wanted to complete the solo flight across the Atlantic to Paris.Both knew there would be a prize for them as Columbus would be governor of the land he discovered and Lindbergh would receive a $25,000 reward. Without a doubt Lindbergh and Columbus and Lindbergh had incredible reasoning to do the things they did and achievements they hoped to achieve by doing the things they

Both Columbus and Lindbergh had plans to reach certain destinations, but only Lindbergh followed through with his achievement. Columbus was determined to find the correct route from Europe to Asia, but found something much greater: the Americas. This discovery led to eternal fame from the pride of all Americans. He did not reach the destination he

Columbus sailed on a ship; Lindberg flew a plane. Both of these men faced challenges, possessed the skills necessary, and accomplished great feats. Although they had different objectives, there are more similarities than one might think. The 400 year gap made their challenges, skills, and accomplishments seem similar, but the details of these men’s journeys were very different.

"Charles Lindbergh."). Lindbergh was a very successful pilot. His best known flight is the flight across the Atlantic. On May 20th 1927 the plane named Spirit of the Saint Louis took off starting Lindbergh’s adventure. Lindbergh flew for 33 and a half hours straight which is 3,610 miles ( "Charles Lindbergh Biography." Charles Lindbergh Biography.). If you really think there were more struggles during his flight food, water, how did he stay awake and not go crazy? How did he stay awake. Charles Lindbergh’s skills were air navigation and being an amazing pilot ("Daredevil Lindbergh and His Barnstorming Days."

On September 25, 1978, I was a 16-year-old inspiring young pilot going to high school within 10 miles of San Diego’s Lindbergh International Airport. It was about

He flew some short flights in the southern California area, but mostly his job was as a mechanic building planes. While working at the aircraft factory, he soon met a young pilot named Charles Lindbergh, who was looking to buy an airplane that could fly from New York to Paris. Corrigan was lucky enough to be a mechanic who was able to work on the construction of Lindbergh’s famous aircraft, the Spirit of St. Louis. “Lindbergh’s celebrated transatlantic flight in May 1927 inspired many young men, and some young women as well, to be pioneers in aviation, but none more than Douglas Corrigan, who later wrote in his autobiography that he considered Lindbergh the greatest man who ever lived (“even greater than Lincoln”). (Ann T. Keene, 2000) The inspiration of him working with his hero led him to accomplish his

Kidnapping is the illegal act of transferring or transporting someone from one place to another against their will. Charles Augustus Lindbergh Jr. experienced this first hand. Due to faked testimonies, convicted innocent people and lost evidence all leading to an unsolved age old case. Information on the case, theories of who the killer may be and claims that he may be alive are the makings of the case of the Lindbergh kidnapper. So who really killed the Lindbergh baby? Only one knows for sure.

The brothers Wilbur and Orville Wright, possibly the two most renowned representatives of American aeronautics, were the first to experience controlled, continuous flight of a powered airplane in history. Despite being autodidactic in the area of engineering, the duo proved to be extraordinarily successful, testing and refining their strategies to overcome successive challenges that arose with the building of a plane (Crouch 226). The two were so far ahead in the race for flight that they even anticipated and found solutions to problems that more learned scientists could not have even begun to predict. Successful, man-controlled, powered flight was a fundamental turning point in history; it transformed the methods of how the United States

The last question I asked Dr. Lindberg was, “Would you encourage others to go into this profession?” Dr. Lindberg response states, “Yes, I absolutely would encourage others in considering becoming an OT because if you enjoy helping others on the daily and want to pursue a career in health-related profession. I strongly believe that my job is entertaining because it is not like your regular doctors visit, we play games; solve puzzles, paint, etc. to help others regain wellness of life.” After doing this interview, I am excited to pursue a career as an OT because the thought of helping people on the daily basis to help reconnect with their surroundings and we get to have doing it.

The world was changed on December 17, 1903 when Orville Wright flew the first airplane for a period of 12 seconds. Orville, born in 1871 and his brother Wilbur, born in 1867 grew up in Dayton Ohio with two other brothers, Reuchlin and Lorin and one sister Katherine. They grew up in a loving family, which helped the brothers with the success in their future. Many people are not aware that much of their knowledge that went into the makings of the airplane came from their mother Susan and the bicycle repair shop they owned. Interestingly, Wilbur and Orville were not the men who first thought of flying. In the 16th century, Leonardo de Vinci had thoughts of a “flying machine” that was ahead its time, though
