CHARLES LINDBERGH AUTOGRAPHED HANDWRITTEN LETTER – NOVEMBER 23, 1927 – AVIATION EDUCATION / MODEL AIRCRAFT HISTORY

An extraordinary and historically important handwritten and signed letter by Charles A. Lindbergh, dated November 23, 1927, just months after his legendary solo transatlantic flight aboard the Spirit of St. Louis.

In this letter, Lindbergh praises the Playground and Recreation Association of America for its efforts in promoting aviation education and encouraging youth participation in the National Playground Miniature Aircraft Contest. The letter reflects Lindbergh's vision that aviation would become essential to everyday life and his belief that organizations educating young people about flight were "worthy of the fullest support."

The content is especially significant because it directly relates to one of the earliest organized youth aviation programs in the United States. Contemporary newspaper articles from 1927 (included for provenance and research purposes) document the Playground and Recreation Association's nationwide Miniature Aircraft Contest and note the involvement and support of both Charles Lindbergh and Orville Wright.

Key historical points:

• Dated November 23, 1927, during the height of Lindbergh's international fame.
