"We must keep America strong, but we must not let that strength be used to fight other people's wars."
"The air is a wonderful medium. It is an ocean of air, and we are just beginning to learn how to navigate it."
"I have seen the future, and it works."
"I am not a hero. I am just a man who has been given an opportunity."
"The airplane is a tool, just like a hammer or a saw. It is up to us to decide how we use it."
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.
