Charles Lindbergh: References & Edit History
More Articles On This Topic
Additional Reading
Lindbergh’s worldviews and values are the focal point of his memoirs, Autobiography of Values (1978, reissued 1992), ed. by William Jovanovich and Judith A. Schiff. Lindbergh describes his famous airplane flight in The Spirit of St. Louis (1953, reprinted 1987), and in “We” (1927, reissued 1955 and 2002), which also tells the story of his youth. Also useful is The Wartime Journals of Charles A. Lindbergh (1970), which was not initially intended for publication and covers the period from March 1938 to June 1945. Two standard biographies are Walter S. Ross, The Last Hero: Charles A. Lindbergh, rev. ed. (1976, reissued 2005); and Brendan Gill, Lindbergh Alone (1977, reissued 2002). Other treatments are Perry D. Luckett, Charles A. Lindbergh: A Bio-Bibliography (1986); and A. Scott Berg, Lindbergh (1998).
