Lucky Lindy's Life On Display At This Year's Oshkosh Event

EAA Museum's Biggest Exhibit Ever

His was one of the most daring, most hailed flights in all of aviation history. Now, an exhibit highlighting famed aviator Charles Lindbergh will be a major part of the EAA AirVenture Museum's special events schedule during Oshkosh 2003, July 29-August 4 at Wittman Regional Airport in Oshkosh.

The exhibit, created by the Missouri Historical Society, is the largest, most ambitious and most comprehensive effort yet to honor the first person to make a solo, nonstop flight across the Atlantic.  Lindbergh's journey made him an instant worldwide hero and created unprecedented interest in the young science of aviation.

Part of Centennial Of Flight Celebration

"This exhibit, the largest temporary exhibit we've ever brought to Oshkosh in the museum's 20- year history, draws upon Charles Lindbergh's personal collection, as well as historical artifacts," said Adam Smith, EAA AirVenture Museum Director.  "During Oshkosh 2003, thousands of aviation enthusiasts who come to Oshkosh will be fascinated by this look at the man and his flight - one that changed the course of his life and ours.  It is a wonderful addition to EAA's celebration of 100 years of powered flight."

Among the items to be on exhibit are Lindbergh's flight suit and other items from the 1927 trans-Atlantic trip, personal artifacts and those from his wife, Anne Morrow Lindbergh, and his family.  The exhibit will arrive in Oshkosh in mid-July as part of its national tour and will be on display throughout EAA AirVenture.  Museum admission is included with all AirVenture passes.
