Good-bye, Charles Lindbergh: Based on a True Story

40 pp. January, 1998 | Trade ISBN 0-689-81536-0
(3) K-3 In 1929, a boy named Gil Wickstrom gets the thrill of a lifetime when the aviator Charles Lindbergh lands his biplane in a pasture near Gil's father's farm and camps overnight. In the morning Gil helps hold the wings of the 'Curtiss Falcon' steady as the famous pilot prepares for take-off. Illustrated with muted colored pencil pictures, the story, based on a real event, captures the excitement of a bygone time when flying was still a daring feat.
