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.
