Charles A. Lindbergh (1902–1974)

I enjoyed this. It was interesting to see what he considered to be safe or inconsequential in aviation in the 20s. I give it 4* because he tells a good story, but then kind of trails off. It was entertaining for sure, and I could tell he's just sharing a story, not a professional author. I will end up reading it again. I have the 3rd edition from 1927, passed down to me by my great uncle.

Excellent book. Lindbergh began work on the book in 1939, and it went through 6 drafts before publication. His wife, Anne Lindbergh, offered her experience in helping Lindbergh to edit the book. Lindbergh's original book, "We", as an unsatisfactory product that was rushed to market in July 1927. He had only 3 weeks to work on that book, and was never satisfied with the product. With years under his belt and 14 years under writing, The Spirit of St. Louis is a wonderful book masterfully told.
