Shelf wear on Dust Jacket, papered boards and paper edges, rubbed spine ends, frayed pages, fading on dust jacket, otherwise a fair copy. First Edition. In this perceptive full length biography, Walter S. Ross reveals the qualities which enabled Lindbergh to make significant contributions in a number of widely separate fields - his work with Alexis Carrel, the Nobel Prize-winning scientist, in developing a perfusion pump to keep organs alive outside the body; funding he secured for pioneer experiments in rocketry, information he provided his country about German air power before World War Two and; his combat missions in the Pacific as a regular pilot.
