Lindbergh's first solo trans-Atlantic plane flight from New York to Paris, in 1927 was truly dangerous, daring and monumental. <br /><br />But was the overwhelming adoration of the entire nation the CAUSE of Lindbergh's appalling thinking and behaviour? I think not...the evidence seemed clear that he was disturbed in his human relationships from the beginning, and was a nasty racist as well.Helshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02849907428208235392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067098918914268503.post-53313984380553261062020-08-17T09:48:30.400+10:002020-08-17T09:48:30.400+10:00well I was exhausted after reading about this .

I wonder whether his support fro his children was also based on his own need fro privacy and to keep a secret than any real care fro his children and mistresses. I am amazed that these women were compliant and sisters too!I have to say he seems to me like a raging narcissist who had a very low ability at empathy . I cant like anything about him. memhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05520080648914042943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067098918914268503.post-44274627613214569542020-08-16T20:27:10.101+10:002020-08-16T20:27:10.101+10:00Yono

So yes, although a lot of decent Americans did not want to send their sons off to a distant war in 1939, Lindbergh was not one of them. He had other goals.Helshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02849907428208235392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067098918914268503.post-83327656820566882712020-08-15T18:34:05.020+10:002020-08-15T18:34:05.020+10:00Andrew

But if that was blatantly so for Lindbergh, why did he "marry" woman after woman?
