Short photo essay about Charles Augustus Lindbergh: an american aviator, author, inventor, explorer and social activist. He has been considered an american hero with his Orteig Prize - his non-stop flight from New York to Paris emerged him from obscurity to world fame. He epitomizes the roaring twenty's atmosphere. He was the right man in the right place and time. But his hybris of 1927 gave to him the nemesis of 1932 - his son, Charles Augustus Lindbergh Jr., was kidnapped and murdered. The bitter-sweet taste of life has been writen in the marks of his destiny - a real tragic hero! Included portraits of Calvin Coolidge, Gaston Doumergue, Raymond Orteig, Robert H. Goddard, Juan Terry Trippe, Daniel and Harry Guggenheim.
