Of all people on earth, Lindberg would have seemed to be among the least likely of candidates to lead such a "double life."

It is all the more remarkable because it appears to have been not a fling but an enduring love affair lasting half a lifetime consisting of not one unanticipated pregnancy but in three children whom he loved and provided for, if this account is to be believed.

It has been said on this thread that Lindberg was an admirer of Hitler but I do not think this was strictly true. In any event, he rendered his country courageous if unacknowledged service in active duty, as a civilian out of uniform, against the Japanese. His exploratory flights around the world advanced the commercial air age.

It was. Read your history.

And evidently a bigamist of sorts too. Big surprise.
