LindberghCharles A. Lindbergh was one of the greatest men in the history of aviation. Lindbergh has always been a very sociable person. He believed he was always doing what was best for the Air Force, no matter who he insulted or went against. He was a courageous man who often pushed the limits of his body, technology and his aircraft. His goal was to advance aviation. This man did whatever it took because he believed in something bigger than himself. The book CHARLES A. LINDBERGH LONE EAGLE provides a very detailed description of his life and helps show how he wanted to advance aviation even if it meant risking his own life. . He went to the University of Wisconsin to study mechanical engineering, which he was fascinated by. He was always a brave guy and loved adventure. But young Charles neglected his studies and was placed on academic probation. This didn't matter to him however because he had a new goal and that was to fly airplanes. He went to a place in Nebraska that would teach you to fly for $500... After he learned to fly at this airport. He became a show pilot once he learned to fly. He wanted to fly faster planes, so he started flying in the military and then started carrying the U.S. mail. Charles did all this to try to establish commercial aviation in the United States. He therefore thought that one of the best ways to achieve this was to be the first man to fly from New York to Paris. He left New York and managed to fly to Paris. The news really helped spread the word about him and now he was a hero to people all over the world. He returned to the United States and had more cameras on him than a movie star. He was on top of the world when the tragedy occurred. One night he was at home with his wife... in the middle of a sheet of paper... without anyone knowing. He fought hard and was very productive. As more and more people found out who they were flying with, Lindbergh knew he had to stop because the president would find out. When the president finally found out, he let Lindbergh join the Air Force as a pilot trainer and as someone who could help them with aviation. I say he was a true hero for America and for the Air Force. It didn't matter what he had to do to ensure he was contributing to the advancement of aviation. He was a true hero for aviation because he worked and risked his life several times not only for his fame but so that aviation could continue to grow. I believe he never turned against America and everything he did was for the benefit of America. He was a true hero who had a goal and wanted to complete it. He did everything he could to help aviation because that is what he believed deeply.
