He was the most famous person in the world.
But nobody knew him.
Charles Lindbergh led one of the great lives of the 20th century.
Marked by glory and tragedy on a scale few can imagine.
But throughout it all, he remained an intensely private character.
That's why the new item I have for you today is so special.
It's the most fascinating Lindbergh autograph I've ever offered.
Pioneering trans-Atlantic aviator Charles Lindbergh led one of the great lives of the 20th century.
A unique piece of history
It's a superb Charles Lindbergh handwritten and signed letter.
Dated 1956 and clearly marked “Confidential and personal”.
If you collect aviation memorabilia, this is an incredible item to own.
- It's preserved in exceptionally fresh condition
- With a revealing window into Lindbergh's private character
- And featuring content on the U.S Air Force and Pan Am Airways
The content of this letter is truly significant to Charles Lindbergh's life.
Beautifully handwritten across five pages in crisp black ink.
It's a rare insight into one of the 20th century's most famous figures.
And a fine piece that will sit proudly in your autograph collection.
The letter consists of five pages in fine condition, with each sheet measuring 5.5” by 8.25”.
Revealing content
The letter is dated March 11, 1956, and addressed to Lt. General Emmett O'Donnell, Deputy Chief of Staff of Personnel of the U.S Air Force.
Lindbergh writes about his appointment to the Board of Visitors at the Air Academy and his work as a consultant for Pan Am Airways."Frankly, I am in a quandary. I am most anxious to support the interests of the Air Force in every way I can; but I am already overcommitted and I do not see how I can devote the time...
“...I have laid plans to be abroad a large part of the time during the next several months, in connection with Pan American Airways activities and with writing projects...”
Years later it was revealed that Lindbergh used this time abroad for more than just work and "writing projects".
He also began a series of affairs with three European mistresses, and fathered seven secret children.
Lindbergh's words appear fresh on the page, and he signs off simply as "Charles", with his full name and address written beside the signature.
No escape
In the most significant passage Lindbergh discusses his desire to avoid publicity, after decades in the spotlight:“And there is another complication; for years I have tried to avoid contact with the modern Press, so I can travel, think, and work, effectively.
"I have, at least, achieved a reasonable degree of success in this endeavor, and I do not want to take on work which involves contact with photographers and reporters."After his trans-Atlantic solo flight in 1927, Lindbergh experienced a level of fame on a global scale that nobody has encountered before or since.
On his return to the U.S he was greeted on the streets by literally millions of people, all desperate to catch a glimpse of their hero.
“It's hard to describe the impact Lindbergh had on people. Even the first walk on the moon doesn't come close,” said fellow pilot Elinor Smith Sullivan.
His life was a fierce media circus, which intensified in 1932 when his infant son was tragically kidnapped and murdered.
As this letter shows, Lindbergh's life was a constant flight from the spotlight.
It reveals a man consumed by his work. And his secrets.
