First edition, early printing of Lindbergh’s autobiographical account about the events leading up to and including his 1927 solo trans-Atlantic flight. Octavo, original blue cloth, illustrated endpapers, illustrated. Presentation copy, inscribed by the author a month before the date of publication on the title page, “To Andy Cain With best wishes, Charles A. Lindbergh June 9, 1954.” Near fine in a very good dust jacket.
Winner of the 1954 Pulitzer Prize for Autobiography, this is Charles Lindberghs riveting account of the first nonstop flight between the United States and Europe he undertook in 1927. "At its exciting best, this book keeps the reader cockpit close to a rare adventure" (Time).
