Charles Lindbergh His Life
Author: Dale Van Every

Text extracted from opening pages of book: CHARLES LINDBERGH HIS LIFE BY DALE VAN EVERY AND MORRIS DEHAVEN TRACY INTRODUCTION BY KARL A. BICKBL PRESIDENT OB 1 THE UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATIONS NEW YORK #-& LONDON D. APPLETON AND COMPANY MCMXXVII > B. Y The source material upon which this account of Captain Lindbergh's career is based, was collected ... more »in the United States and Europe by the news organization of the United Press Associations. Copyright, 1927, by the United Press Associations PRINTED UT THB XTNITBD STATES OJF INTRODUCTION This narrative of the career of Charles Lind bergh is really the product of the extraordinary interest in his personality shown by millions of people. Judged by the response felt from the readers of hundreds of newspapers, no single figure of our time has so caught the imagination of people every where. Newspapers around the world have found it impossible to tell too much about him. His admirers were not content to read about his great flight. They wished to know how he became what he is to-day. To meet this demand the United Press prepared a condensed life story of Captain Lindbergh which was published in its member newspapers. Material for this story was secured much the same as other news information would be secured through a world wide news organization. Instructions were wired to every branch office in every city and town in the United States and abroad where Lindbergh or his immediate ancestors had resided or even visited. Responses to this request poured into head-V INTRODUCTION quarters by wire, cable, wireless and air mail. Al most immediately there was assembled an amazing quantity of information concerning Lindbergh. Scores of friends of the Lindbergh family were interviewed, many companions of Lindbergh's youth told what they remembered about him, official records and old newspaper files were examined in fact al most every conceivable source of information was investigated by United Press representatives. Far more material accumulated than had been an ticipated. Lindbergh, as might have been expected, proved in the light of all this data to have had a thoroughly colorful and interesting career. One of the most interesting figures in the world to-day to the general public, he was in a sense equally interest ing as a boy of ten when he used to sit on a bicycle seat attached in the top of a tree and dream of flying. It seemed appropriate to bind together this mass of carefully collected material in some permanent form and this boot is the result of this endeavor. The authors, members of the editorial staff of the United Press, assembled all the facts which were gathered as I have indicated and from them wrote the narrative account as it is set down in this story of Lindbergh's career. Morris DeHaven Tracy and Dale Van Every, the vi INTRODUCTION writers, have asked me to acknowledge the gener ous assistance and counsel of the following: Robert J. Bender, General News Manager of the United Press; A. L. Bradford; Ralph Heinzen and John O'Brien of the Paris staff of the United Press ; Carl D. Groat, William J.
