he difficulty I have with the Spirit of St Louis is that it's a US national
: icon and that there's bound to be a fair amount of emotion tied up in
: defending it.


It was a good design for the flight; but it was only
Lindbergh's second best option. He really wanted to
have the Bellanca in which Chamberlin and Levin flew
from New York to Berlin, a few day's after Lindbergh's
flight from New York to Paris.

But will the Spirit of St. Louis live in history forever? That is the question
at hand.
