LINDBERGH, Charles Augustus (1902-1974). Two typed letters signed (“Charles A. Lindbergh”) to Earl Findley (1878-1956), Sevenoaks [Kent], 26 June and 7 October 1936. One page each, 250 x 200mm. Writing from England during his self-imposed exile from the United States, Charles Lindbergh reports on promising “developments in military aircraft,” while looking forward to “very active and intelligent competition with European designs in the future.” A fine pair of letters from the young aviator, written during his first year in England following his sudden departure from the United States in December 1935 in order to escape intrusive publicity in the wake of the kidnapping and subsequent trial of Bruno Richard Hauptman. Lindbergh offers reports on aviation advances in Europe: “Some of the English developments in military aircraft look extremely interesting [...] There has certainly been great progress in English design during the past few years and I think that we may have to work very hard if we hope to maintain our past leadership in certain classes.” Writing again in October, Lindbergh writes that he hopes he would “be able to meet Mr. [Griffith] Brewer some time in the future, as he sounds like an interesting man.” [ With :] BERGSTROM, Florence O. Typescript, “Why Lindbergh is Successful”. Seven pages, 275 x 215mm on U.S. Air Services letterhead.
