Lindbergh, Anne Morrow ___ 1906-2001 ___ American ___ aviator, writer

BIOGRAPHICAL SUMMARY
Born in New Jersey, Lindbergh was the daughter of Dwight Morrow, a US senator and ambassador. She studied at Smith College, and then, in 1929, married the by-then famous aviator, Charles Lindbergh. He taught her to fly, and they went on many exploratory trips, air surveying and charting new routes, in which she acted as co-pilot, navigator and radio operator. Her first book, 'North to the Orient', describes a single-engine aeroplane journey over uncharted routes from Canada and Alaska to Japan and China. Other accomplished books followed, some written with her husband. She received various honours for her aviation exploits such as those from the US Flag Association, the National Geographic Society and the Cross of Honour. She had six children by Charles, the first of whom was kidnapped and killed (see Charles Lindbergh). Ann Lindbergh was a keen letter writer and diary keeper, and these were published in five volumes covering shortish periods of her life.

IMPORTANT NOTES AND CAUTIONS: 1) The first line of basic information may be incomplete in several ways: some historical figures have different names (titles, pen-names); their birth and death dates may be unknown or uncertain (g - guess, c - circa); similarly, their occupations may be unknown, or they may have had other jobs; and, for early diarists, I've used 'British' a bit too freely. 2) The biographical summary may not be accurate. It was compiled quickly from various sources, mostly on the internet, and the facts were not checked anywhere near as rigorously as they would have been if they'd been intended for publication in a printed form. 3) The journal dates and descriptors (which are in no particular order) must be treated with caution: since I have not examined the diaries myself, the descriptors are only guesses based on bibliographies, anthologies and internet biographies. 4) For the biography and etext links, I have ignored any sites with charges, and I have avoided, wherever possible, those with pop-ups or too much advertising. I have limited myself to providing three etext links where there is some variety between them. 5) For the original manuscript links, I have limited myself to providing a maximum of two (although, for a few diarists, their original diaries are held in more than two places). 6) I have provided the titles - chosen randomly - for up to three printed editions of the diaries.
