LINDBERGH ENDORSEMENTS

The remarkable photographs march us quickly through Lindbergh's turbulent life, and are given additional dimension via the short but meaningful narrative.”

“LINDBERGH may well be the best photographic biography ever produced.  The book is a testament to the Lone Eagle’s accomplishments and shortcomings.  Nothing is left out.  The book is objective and riveting—the perfect example of how photographs can tell a story.”

“The amazing journey of this American hero is a reminder of the many challenges that once faced aviators.  As I travel the night skies over the North Atlantic, I think of the fearless explorer who blazed a trail for all of us who fly commercially.  LINDBERGH is a must for your coffee table, if you are an aviator or not.”

Captain Glen Fraser, B777 Airline Pilot

thoughtful retrospective will surprise, illuminate and entertain you all at

LINDBERGH is both a timely and a timeless book. The pictures combine with the narrative to give the reader a real appreciation of the extraordinary lives of both Charles and Anne Lindbergh.
