My review: The flight: Charles Lindbergh's 1927 Trans-Atlantic Crossing by Dan Hampton

Charles Lindbergh, in flying solo, nonstop from New York to Paris in 1927, was, of course unequaled in its daring, especially considering aviation and flight were fraught with danger and many unknowns. In this book, Dan Hampton presents a perspective I've not read previously. The majority of the book tells Charles Lindbergh's story from the perspective of his time in the air and what he experienced. The later part of the book explains, or tries to explain, Charles A. Lindbergh the man. This interested me very much. So much has been written about his political views for which he is often maligned. I think that is often done in a way which overshadows his character and humanity. I'm glad this book presents a more balanced portrayal, and I thought it a great read. One I will likely revisit.
