Anne Linbergh
Ranks With Best
OF Women Fliers

NEW YORK, Dec. 81. (UP)-
Anne Morrow Lindbergh, now
home to spend Christmas with
her 16-months-old son, Jon,
after a five-months 10000 mile
air journey with her husband,
Col. Charles A. Lindbergh, takes
her place among the foremost
women fliers of the world.
Mrs. Lindbergh has achieved
skill as Il pilot, navigator and
radio operator. She has taken
part in flights that have made
aviation history and done so with
so little attendant publicity that
her ability often has gone UNI
noticed when names of famous
women filters were mentioned.
While her achievements differ
from those of Amelia Earhart of
America, Amy Johnson of Eng
land and Maryse HilSz, of France
in that she has done most of her
FLYING with her husband, Anne
Lindbergh's responsibility on such
flights has been such that only
a veteran aviatrix could meet.
All her training has been I'M
der the direction of Col. Lind
bergh and began before they
were married, when the young
aviator. engaged IN a goodwill
flight visited Mexico City. Lind
bergh took Ambassador Dwight
w. Morro's daughter on several
flights on one of which they
cracked up due to broken
landing gear.
After their marriage Mrs,
! Lindbergh accompanied her hus-
band on several flights across
the continent, one of them a
record breaking hop from west
to east completed few months
before the birth of her first son.
She already was acting as CO.
pilot.
When Lindbergh planned a
vacation flight to the Orient she
took up navigation and radio
telegraphy and proved herself
superior to her husband in the
later. Anne's messages kept the
world informed of their progress
in that flight as well as the one
they finished Tuesday.
During this most reject air
journey Mrs. Lindbergh acted
both as radio operator and navi-
gator and also relieved her hus-
band at the controls when neces-
sary. Her graciousness and tact
make her an outstanding figure.
On reaching a new port enroute
through Europe Mrs. Lindbergh
was always last to leave the
plane. She usually crouched far
down in her seat compartment
until time to go ashore.
Miss Johnson has to her credit
solo flights from England to
Australia to Cape Town, Toxic
and flight with her husband
across the North Atlantic.
Miss Earhart crossed the At
lantic twice by plane, the second
time alone. She holds the wo-
mems non stop distance record
and the autogiro altitude record.
Nine. Hilsz is Frances foremost
title holder.
But Mrs. Lindbergh's flying,
while not of the spectacular kind
entities her to rank with these
foremost women filters.
