Shorpy.com Image: Charles And Anne Morrow Lindbergh 1929

Charles and Anne Morrow Lindbergh in 1929 - from Shorpy.com  (click pic for hi-res)

 I'm thinking this will become a regular feature: helping you to find amazing historic aviation-related images from the massive Shorpy.com database of hi-def images showcasing life on earth (predominately between 1850 and 1950). I find it really interesting seeing Charles Lindbergh and his pilot wife Anne Morrow Lindbergh in this photo from 1929. This would be two years after his historic Spirit of St. Louis flight, and was actually not long after the two were married. It's also just a couple years before they would experience the tragic kidnapping and murder of their first son Charles A. Lindbergh, III.

 I admit that I didn't really enjoy history way back in the days of my schooling, but it's absolutely fascinating to me these days. And while I've just barely understood some of the very winding road that was Charles Lindbergh's life, I can tell from doing a little research here that I must take the time someday to really try to understand it. There's so much intriguing stuff to absorb... and some of it tells about the man himself, but a lot of it really shows the state of the American culture in the 30's and 40's and the reality of politics, power and human nature.

 Be sure to click the pic above to see it in hi-def over at Shorpy's. It'll feel like your right there with these two interesting people and the Lockheed Vega behind them. This is history.
