Our submitting subscriber comments, “A valued and newly acquired Navy veteran friend that I met in Florida supplied this message and the videos that are included.  The videos contain the best depiction and description of Lindbergh’s historical feat that I have ever seen.  Comparing flight in those days to the present boggles the mind.  I did note that some of the instruments that he used may not have been precisely the same but they were very similar to those that some of us used in the SNJ and TBM.”

There are 4 short videos of footage from Lindbergh’s flight, etc. including actual footage of the 1927 flight.  Take time to enjoy.  You must click on each film clip individually.  According to the submitter, “This is the best Lindbergh flight history I’ve ever seen.  You might want to check out the info on Airport Appraisals too.  It’s an interesting company.”

Click here for the videos.
