Fearless, peerless Lindy flew Across the mighty ocean blue. A game with death,aLindy played it. Progress! Lindy made it. He stayed in Paris for awhile Taking honors with a smile. Modesty! His acts displayed it. Progress! Lindy made it. Our government soon called him back Heaping honors on his back. His course? for Washington he laid it. Progress! Lindy,d made it! WILLARD OTT ;Xf COL. CHARLES A. LINDBERGH N through the Night flew the HLone Eagle . Through day and night, rain and fog, he Hew steadily on towards HGay Paree. Then, some 33 hours after he left the Hying field at New York, the huge throngs that gathered at the Paris Hying field saw a tiny speck in the sky. iiHe made it! they cried. Then came Lindberghis most dangerous incident of the trip, landing amidst that surging mass of cheering humanity. After C01. Charles Lindbergh,s momentous Hight, he became the Hhero of the day. The Whole world acclaimed him. The praise he received hourly did not affect his character, and he remained the same modest Lindy as he was before his historic flight. Everywhere he went, his ever ready smile and modesty made him a favorite. On his Good Will Tour to the Latin American countries, he did more to promote good will than a dozen ambassadors, and he well deserves the name, HThe Ambassador of the Air. Colonel Lindberghk sole ambition is the advancement of aviation. He tiew over the Atlantic; not for his own personal welfare, but to prove that the ocean could be crossed in an aeroplane. Lindbergh is brave, courageous, calm, and, above all, modest. His Hight well deserves to go down in world history, among famous events. MEYER LAX E581
