The Lindberg child was abducted from home in New Jersey and killed. There was some speculation if the right person was executed for the deed. They had to find someone.

Just a flashback from reading about the couple many years ago. That was an extremely dangerous undertaking even for an experienced mail pilot.

I was looking in the cockpit of a 1950s jet fighter early this year. The amount of instrumentation was still pathetic. No real avionics yet. Just primitive basic instrumentation.
