LINDBERGH CHARLES: (1902-1974)

LINDBERGH CHARLES: (1902-1974) American aviator who made the first solo non-stop flight across the Atlantic from Paris to New York in the Spirit of St. Louis, May 1927. A good vintage signed and inscribed 6 x 5 photograph, the image depicting Lindbergh´s iconic custom-built, single-engine, single-seat, high-wing monoplane the Spirit of St. Louis (Ryan NYP, registered N-X-211) landing on an airfield and with an automobile in the background. The photograph bears various official stamps to the verso, including one of the Musée de l´Air, dated February and March 1964. Signed by Lindbergh in dark fountain pen ink to a light area at the head of the image, ´To Colonel Louis Castex, with best wishes from Charles A. Lindbergh´. An appealing signed image with an interesting association. A few very light, minor surface creases, otherwise VG

Louis Castex (1896-1968) French aviation pioneer, politician and author.
