"Charles Lindbergh's life was a singular odyssey and many of his accomplishments, long hidden from the public, were a testament to his unique character. He was at the forefront of pioneering research in aeronautics and rocketry; his passion for conservation and anthropology led him to remote regions of Asia, Africa and the Americas, where he instigated changes in government policy; and his innovative medical work led to the development of a precursor to the articifical heart.
