  • Although Doc and Marty visited the year 1927 during their later time-travels in the 1990s, their stay was in Chicago in January. Marty and Verne also visited the years 1926 and 1933, but did not encounter or discuss Lindbergh.
  • Charles Lindbergh (1902–1974) was an American aviator, author, inventor and explorer. In 1927, Lindbergh gained world fame as the result of his solo non-stop flight from Roosevelt Field on Long Island to Le Bourget Field in Paris in the single-seat, single-engine monoplane Spirit of St. Louis.
  • While his career as an all-American stud has no official beginning, Lucky Lindy first started flying for money in 1922 when he quit school and bought himself an airplane using money he had been saving since he was ten, as well as some liberty bonds which his grandparents had sent him every Christmas. The plane he bought was a Curtiss JN-4 "Jenny", which he flew in a local aerial circus. It was here that a near-death experience in the sky convinced him that being a barnstormer just didn't pay nearly as much as a pilot of his caliber should be paid. As much as he enjoyed the attention associated with the job, Charles quit the circus and began training for an airmail position in 1924.
  • Charles Lindbergh was an American aviator. He appeared in the episode Rosebud with his plane the Spirit of St. Louis.He found Bobo floating in the water and a short time later, he threw the bear out of his plane for his fans.

  • Charles Augustus Lindbergh (February 4, 1902 - August 26, 1974) was an American celebrity best known as the first man to complete a nonstop transatlantic solo flight. In May of 1927, he flew from New York City to Paris, France. Lindbergh's star soon began to tarnish. In the 1930s he traveled to Germany to familiarize himself with the Luftwaffe, initially at the behest of the US War Department; but while in Germany he became chummy with many Nazis, even accepting a German civilian award from Adolf Hitler.
  • Later he received a medal from the Nazis for his impact on aviation and later led the movement which opposed America's entry into World War II. He is one of the few Americans who were dumb enough to support or say some very nice things about the Nazis. Henry Ford and Walt Disney are among them. Early on Lindbergh urged Britain and France to arm against Hitler but later urged the United States to stay out of World War II. Lindberg was suspected of being a Nazis sympathizer and was certainly a racist.
