Kathleen Winters

Anne Morrow Lindbergh:
First Lady of the Air

The Minnesota Aviation Hall of Fame awarded this book "Best Aviation Writing in 2008." Only one book is so honored each year.

Aviation defined Anne Morrow Lindbergh’s life. Today she's recognized as a gifted writer and the wife of legendary aviator Charles Lindbergh, but few people know of her own accomplishments in aviation.

In this revealing biography, Kathleen Winters recreates the adventure and excitement of the golden age of aviation and Charles and Anne's roles in it. Drawing on new material, including the Lindberghs’ flight logbooks and Anne’s diaries at various archives, Winters presents never-before-published details.

Anne was catapulted to fame with her 1929 marriage to the most celebrated hero of the 20th century, but with fame came tragedy when her firstborn was kidnapped and murdered in 1932. She continued to fly but hung up her wings in her early 30s. Though this book focuses on Anne's early years, it covers her entire life.
