Click to view full description | 1. | LINDBERGH, ANNE MORROW Hour of gold, hour of lead. Diaries and letters of Anne Morrow Lindbergh.
New York Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, 1973 Hard Cover Very Good Good
335 pages, 16 plates, cloth, dust jacket, very good. From the publisher: Part radiant, part somber, this second volume of Anne Lindbergh's Diaries and Letters covers the years of her early married life. The shy, sheltered introspective girl is thrown into the world of action of her famous husband. From the very first moment he makes her a partner in his activities. He teaches her to fly; she learns to navigate and operate radio and to take aerial photographs on the survey flights they make together. Their flying mean long hours in cramped quarters, often sitting on parachutes in open cockpits of single-engine planes. Fog and storm posed frequent threats unknown to modern highly instrumented aircraft. Alertness is demanded, regardless of fatigue, and self-control under the pressure of fear. Most difficult of all, she has to live in the constant glare of publicity, tracked down by journalists, photographers, and a gaping public. No longer can she speak her mind. Yet there was a 'kind of bright golden bloom over everything' The beauty of flying in the early days of aviation, with its closeness to nature - and also to death - never palled. Then the first house was built, the first child was born. In a reversal of terrifying swiftness, the hour of gold turned into the hour of lead. The tragedy of the kidnapping of Charles Lindbergh, Jr., unfolds in an extraordinary series of letters only recently recovered, in which Anne Lindbergh keeps her mother-in-law meticulously informed of each day's events, hopes, deceptions, up to the final blow.
