"Lucky Lindy", America's heroic Aviator who made the solo crossing of the Atlantic in 1927, was reportedly pro-Fascist and an anti-Semite, and some even said he was a Nazi sympathizer. This is just what I read. Hal
@Hal Pollner Lindbergh was one of several chosen by the scientists preparing to send notice to FDR about the possibility of making a nuclear bomb. His personal beliefs as mentioned above resulted in the shelving of the idea. Instead, the honor went to Alexander Sachs, who wound up having to deliver twice, after the first time elicited no response. Frank
"Charles A. Lindbergh, the idol of American aviation whose name became synonymous with isolationism on the eve of World War II, in later life regretted that he was perceived as being anti-Semitic, according to his wife. He was appalled when he saw the survivors of a concentration camp in Germany after the war. And as early as 1941, a few weeks before Pearl Harbor, he and his wife discussed and approved the idea of an independent homeland for the Jewish people similar to what would eventually become the state of Israel." - Herbert Mitgang http://www.charleslindbergh.com/ny/105.asp
