Lindbergh enrolled at the University of Wisconsin, but left after two years to pursue aviation at a flying school in Lincoln, Nebraska, instead. ","Lindbergh enlisted in the United States Army in 1924 and completed flight-training school at the top of his class in 1925. In 1926, he became an airmail pilot, flying from St. Louis, Missouri, to Chicago, Illinois. At the same time, Lindbergh convinced nine St. Louis businessmen to sponsor his attempt at competing for the Orteig Prize, a $25,000 reward offered for the first person to complete a nonstop flight between New York and Paris. On May 20, 1927, Lindbergh took off from Roosevelt Field, near New York City. He landed 33.5 hours later at Le Bourget Field, near Paris, France. For this accomplishment, Lindbergh was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor, the Distinguished Flying Cross, and many other honors.","Lindbergh married Anne Morrow in 1929. The couple flew many times together, with Anne serving as copilot and navigator. They had six children together. Tragically, their first, Charles Augustus, Jr., was kidnapped and murdered in 1932. This event led to the passing of the \"Lindbergh Law,\" making kidnapping a federal offense if the victim is transported over state lines or if mail service is used to demand ransom. The overbearing press coverage forced the Lindberghs to move to Europe for privacy in 1935. They returned to the U.S. in 1939.","In 1938, Lindbergh was given the German medal of honor by Hermann Goering. This, in addition to his outspoken views of neutrality during World War II, white supremacist statements, and criticisms of President Roosevelt's foreign policies caused many to suspect him of being a Nazi sympathizer. After being publically criticized by Roosevelt, Lindbergh resigned from the U. S. Army Air Corps. He reversed his stance on noninvolvement after the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, but his request to reenlist was denied. Instead, he served as a consultant and test pilot to the Ford Motor Company and the United Aircraft Corporation. In 1944, Lindbergh began serving as an advisor to the U.S. Army and Navy in the Pacific War arena. He flew about 50 combat missions as a civilian, but is better known for developing techniques to reduce fuel consumption. ","After the war, Lindbergh continued to consult for Pan American World Airways and the U.S. Department of Defense. The family continued to live quietly in Connecticut, eventually moving to Maui, Hawaii. Lindbergh developed an interest in environmental conservation, campaigning for the protection of endagered species and opposing the development of supersonic transport planes.

He grew up largely in Little Falls, Minnesota, and Washington, D.C., where his father worked in Congress. Lindbergh enrolled at the University of Wisconsin, but left after two years to pursue aviation at a flying school in Lincoln, Nebraska, instead. ","Lindbergh enlisted in the United States Army in 1924 and completed flight-training school at the top of his class in 1925. In 1926, he became an airmail pilot, flying from St. Louis, Missouri, to Chicago, Illinois. At the same time, Lindbergh convinced nine St. Louis businessmen to sponsor his attempt at competing for the Orteig Prize, a $25,000 reward offered for the first person to complete a nonstop flight between New York and Paris. On May 20, 1927, Lindbergh took off from Roosevelt Field, near New York City. He landed 33.5 hours later at Le Bourget Field, near Paris, France. For this accomplishment, Lindbergh was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor, the Distinguished Flying Cross, and many other honors.","Lindbergh married Anne Morrow in 1929. The couple flew many times together, with Anne serving as copilot and navigator. They had six children together. Tragically, their first, Charles Augustus, Jr., was kidnapped and murdered in 1932. This event led to the passing of the \"Lindbergh Law,\" making kidnapping a federal offense if the victim is transported over state lines or if mail service is used to demand ransom. The overbearing press coverage forced the Lindberghs to move to Europe for privacy in 1935. They returned to the U.S. in 1939.","In 1938, Lindbergh was given the German medal of honor by Hermann Goering. This, in addition to his outspoken views of neutrality during World War II, white supremacist statements, and criticisms of President Roosevelt's foreign policies caused many to suspect him of being a Nazi sympathizer. After being publically criticized by Roosevelt, Lindbergh resigned from the U. S. Army Air Corps. He reversed his stance on noninvolvement after the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, but his request to reenlist was denied. Instead, he served as a consultant and test pilot to the Ford Motor Company and the United Aircraft Corporation. In 1944, Lindbergh began serving as an advisor to the U.S. Army and Navy in the Pacific War arena. He flew about 50 combat missions as a civilian, but is better known for developing techniques to reduce fuel consumption. ","After the war, Lindbergh continued to consult for Pan American World Airways and the U.S. Department of Defense. The family continued to live quietly in Connecticut, eventually moving to Maui, Hawaii. Lindbergh developed an interest in environmental conservation, campaigning for the protection of endagered species and opposing the development of supersonic transport planes.

Gough was born in Washington, D. C., in 1906. He received a Bachelor of Engineering degree in Mechanical Engineering at Johns Hopkins University in 1926. In the same year he began a long career with the Langley Aeronautical Laboratory of the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) in Hampton, Virginia. From 1926 to 1958, Gough was successively an engineer, a test pilot (he was commissioned as a naval aviator in 1929), Chief Test Pilot, and Chief of Flight Research at NACA-Langley.","When NACA became the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) in 1958, Gough transferred to Cape Canaveral, where he was Director of NASA Operations at the Atlantic Missile Range for two years. In 1960, he became Director of the Bureau of Safety for the Civil Aeronautics Board. From 1962, he was Director of Aircraft Development of the Federal Aviation Agency, retiring from government service in 1964. He died on March 6, 1994.","Gough's professional organization memberships include the Society of Experimental Test Pilots (of which he was a Fellow) and the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (also a Fellow). He served on the Board of Governors of the Flight Safety Foundation and was a charter member of the Society of Air Safety Investigators. He received the Octave Chanute Award for Test Pilots from the Institute of Aeronautical Sciences in 1941 for \"outstanding contributions in the field of aeronautics\"; the Distinguished Service Award from the Flight Safety Foundation in 1956 for \"distinguished service in achieving safer utilization of aircraft\"; and the Flight Safety Foundation's Laura Taber Barbour Award in 1960 for championing \"through unstinting personal activity the cause of flight safety.\" For his contributions to aeronautical history, Gough was elected to the Virginia Aviation Hall of Fame.","The guide to the Melvin N.
