More from Charles Lindbergh
"The human race is a single race, and it is a wonderful one, but it is not a uniform race. There are differences, and these differences are important. They are important for the future of the race."
"If I had to choose, I would rather have birds than airplanes. In wilderness I sense the miracle of life, and behind it our scientific accomplishments fade to trivia."
"I have been forced to the conclusion that we are losing character and quality, and that we are doing it so rapidly that the very foundations of our civilization are threatened."
"I have said that the Jewish race was not American. That is true. They are not American. They are a separate race."
"I have often thought that the airplane is a symbol of our ability to overcome obstacles."
About Charles Lindbergh (1902-1974)
American aviator who completed the first solo nonstop transatlantic flight (Spirit of St. Louis, May 1927) and later led the isolationist America First Committee against US entry into WWII. Closely associated with Amelia Earhart (aviation contemporary). For an intellectual contrast, see Franklin D. Roosevelt, 32nd US President — FDR's interventionist Lend-Lease policy and 1941 declaration of war ended Lindbergh's America First isolationism; FDR publicly questioned Lindbergh's loyalty in April 1941, leading Lindbergh to resign his Air Corps Reserve commission. The cleanest 'interventionist president vs celebrity-isolationist' pairing in 20th-century US politics.
