For all his accomplishments in the Spirit of St Louis, Charles Lindbergh is also

Not only was he virulent racist and anti-semite, he was also a sympathizer of
the nazis and an admirer of Hermann Goering.


Besides, he was also a womanizer, who fathered three *******s from women other
than his wife (including her sister), and who never had the guts to live up to
his acts.

Those kids had to wait for DNA analysis in 2003 to have the filiation proven in
court.

Some kind of hero...



On the attached photo, Lindbergh is receiving a medal and a sword from his
friend, Reichsmarschall Hermann Goering.

A long time ago I gave up on expecting people who do unusual things to be
politically correct.

His accomplishments make him a hero! His failings make him human!

If having high moral and ethical standards is the definition of
"politically correct" then I'll take it. Lindbergh was a fine aviator
but a man of marginal integrity. Saying "his failings make him human"
lets him off the hook too easily. Forgetting to zip up one's fly is a
human failing; being a Nazi-sympathizing bigot and cheating on one's
wife is something else altogether.

There are a lot of people who think that Lindbergh's son was not
kidnapped but driven to Kansas to live out his life with an adapted
family because he had a deformed foot that did not fit with Lindbergh
ideas of a pure race. The family will not give up DNA to this person to
prove his case. If It was ever proven to be true what does that make him.

Human and wrong, but his actions still make him a hero.

You can also add to that his work in the Pacific theatre with P-38 pilots on
fuel management that helped them get more range and improve their chances of
making it back from those long over water missions. Flying several missions
and being unofficially credited with downing a couple Jap planes.
These actions and those in the "Spirit" make him a hero, a flawed one but
still a hero! His personal failings were many but despite them I will always
admire what he did in the air and give it the proper respect.
Silly you, no. Condescending, maybe! Entitled to your opinion, absolutely
