He was just chasing every great persons dream. On the other hand I think most people who have gained fame end up turning a little or a lot nuts. Just look at for example Howard Hughes, todays music stars and actors.

Bah he was a nazi sympathizer. If he hadn't made the first trans-atlantic flight the world would have been happy to forget his name.

all that immortality stuff was wrapped up in some very disturbing eugenics crap that Lindbergh was involved in.

Lindbergh was just one of a large group of prominant Americans who flirted with political tyranny during the 1930s, mostly in response to the trauma of the Great Depression
