From 1907-1917, when his father, Charles A.

Lindbergh, was representative in congress from Minnesota, Charles lived in Washington when congress was in session. i It was in Washington, in 1310, that young Lindbergh saw his first airplane. He attended school in "Washington and Little Falls and also in Detroit, Michigan. During the war years, when Charles was too young to enlist in the army or to enter college, he "worked" his father's farm at Little Falls, making it pay dividends for the first time. He enrolled in the University of Wisconsin in 1921, takin? a mechanical engineering course.

Deciding to become an aviator, Lindbergh left the university after his third semester (one and a half years), going to Lincoln, Nebraska, Where he received his first flying lessons, As soon as he was able to pilot a plane Lindbergh began to make "gypsy" or "barnstorming" tours, giving exhibitions of stunt flying, wing walking and parachute Jumping, On March 12, 1924, he enrolled as a flying cadet at Brooks-Kelly government flying school at San Antonio, Texas. Graduated from Brooks-Kelly on March 16, 1925, he went to work for the Mllo-Hl Aircraft company, at Denver, Colorado. A short time later he became chief pilot for the Kobertson Aircraft Development corporation ot Bt. Louis. He is still under contract to them, having been given leave of absence to make the New l'ork-Parls flight.

While flying the airmail Lindbergh became a captain in the Missouri National Guard. Early in 1926, Lindbergh first began to take an interest in long distance flights.

Taking oft from Roosevelt Field, New York, on the morning ef May 20, he arrived in Paris 33 hours and 29 minutes later.
