North to the Orient

Author: Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Stars: 5
Review by: Shapoppa

A beautifully written book about the 1931 flight of Charles and Anne Lindbergh that started in New York and led them to Alaska, Russia, Japan, and China. Morrow-Lindbergh exquisitely crafts the story of the people and cultures they encounter at each stop. It's a thrilling tale of a flight into uncharted territories when politics didn't get in the way of man's willingness to explore the skies freely and be welcomed graciously by people who were just as fascinated with their journey.
