Abstract
- The world once more is agog over U.S. aviator Charles A. Lindbergh: his 35,000-mile flight over the United States, his journey to Mexico through fog and rain make him more than ever his country's hero, the "Ambassador of Good-Will." And though the world saw his father very differently, "like father, like son" was never more perfectly illustrated than in Charles A. Lindbergh, senior and junior. No two could be more thoroughly alike. One chose statesmanship, the other aviation; that was the only difference between them. It proved a tremendous difference, however. The very qualities of character which bring the world to one's feet in aircraft will place one beneath the feet of the world in statecraft. Lindbergh the younger demonstrates a surpassing courage, whereupon multitudes surge about him to do him honor. Lindbergh the elder was equally courageous and independent, but the masses he had to face were American mobs.
