My uncle out in Las Vegas sends me links on a daily basis, and I look at every one of them. He had a 27 year career in the US Air Force, so many of the things he sends me are military or aviation oriented.
This link, about Charles Lindbergh is well worth your time to visit. Click on
"Contact" when the page comes up and begin on Part 1. I read Lindbergh's book, "The Spirit of St. Louis" before I saw the movie starring Jimmy Stewart, so I was familiar with nearly everything shown, but the newsreel footage of the takeoff is still incredible to watch. This site really does a great job of covering much of the important historical information about Lindbergh, his plane, and the flight.
