The diaries give an affectingly immediate sense of the hardships endured by a young woman sharing the exploits of a singularly determined and vigorous man. Far more than in any of her previously published books about their flights together, Mrs. Lindbergh shows what it was really like: her struggles with fear, homesickness for her child, and the varied discomforts of cold, heat, excessive fatigue, primitive living conditions, bugs, and exposure to public curiosity. In compensation, there are the high rewards of early flying beauty and adventure, of equal partnership in a demanding task, and of living up to the standards set by and exceptional husband. Illustrated with black and white photographs. Description text copyright 2005 BooksForComfort. Item ID 9155.
