And, or but - as the case may be, did Lindberg report accurately and honestly what he found?

And, to who was he reporting accurately and honestly?

Joseph Kennedy, an avowed pro-Irish crook, did much to split US/UK relations BEFORE the war as US ambassador to England - For who was he really fighting?

The very=pro Russia/Soviet/Communist member in the State Dept and Roosevelt Cabinet - For whom were they fighting - before the War, before the Russian-German alliance, after the Russia-German Alliance, and then, after the German invasion of Russia?

Pro-Communist "union/worker" saboteurs in France did NOT start fighting the Germans until AFTER the German invasion in 41!

Good grief! I must have fallen asleep before the ending, and didn't realize it. All I remember seeing is where they made it seem that Lindburg had "done it". Guess I need to either stay awake, or shut up about what I've think I've seen.

Aplogies to all.

Yes, at about the mid point that looked like where they were heading, then they got the handwriting experts and the guy who studied the wood used in the ladder and from the attic, and it turned out the experts at the trial were telling the truth.

"That would, er, tend to explain his "unusual" pro-German (er, isolation and "pacifism") prior to WWII."

Tell us the truth. You chickened out when you were gong to talk about his unusual pro-German "positions," didn't you?

[Robert A Cook PE]

?

As mentioned very clearly above, his extreme opposition to the US getting into the war was referenced, quoted, and discussed.

Do you think I needed to add more?

What we don't know is the degree of his opposition: If, as implied also, he was the only US pilot allowed access to German airfields, how accurate were his reports to the US of conditions in Germany, and how accurate (and what frequency), were his reports to the Germans of US attitudes and positions?

"Do you think I needed to add more?"

No. You did a good job of explaining. Made for interesting
additional perspective.

I should have added LOL. I was making a pun
on his additional children and
sexual positions.

(I often get booed when I make puns because some people say they're just not punny.)

(Don't blame me. I got the habit for a childhood friend of mine. He gets booed a lot, too.)

"Oil weigh!", as the Jewish sailor from the Village was herd to spout when Moby Dick came into view.

""Oil weigh!", as the Jewish sailor from the Village was herd to spout when Moby Dick came into view."

Like this one. Gonna add it to my repertoire,
with you permission.

Having read Lindberg's wartime diaries detailing his combat experiences in the Pacific theater I would take him any day as a great American over all of the pissy little critics on this thread.

On Memorial Day, I find it offensive that innuendo is served up as fact against a man who offered brave service against the Japanese. He didn't have to put himself in harm's way. He traveled to the Pacific theater to study the Navy Corsair under combat conditions; He ended up flying 50 combat missions.

Prior to WWII, Lindberg was in a unique position to study developments in military aircraft. He did so with full support of the American embassies (who could have prevented his travels) as he had much greater freedom of movement than military members of the embassy staff.

But [Lindbergh] was a great pilot and by no means as bad as some contributers on this topic suggest.

The man had one wife and three mistresses concurrently, and probably had other affairs as well. What does it take for you to consider him bad? My only question is, did Anne know?
