Carbon DS, signed “C. A. Lindbergh,” 8 x 10.5, June 19, 1972. A carbon copy of an Airman Medical Certificate, filled out by Lindbergh and filed with the Federal Aviation Administration. All of Lindbergh’s handwriting, including his signature, is in blue carbon. Lindbergh has printed his name in full “Lindbergh Charles Augustus,” his Darien, Conn. address, Social Security No., and date of birth “2/4/02.” Other information filled out by Lindbergh include Height in inches “74,” Weight in pounds “185,” Color of Hair “Gray,” Color of Eyes “Blue,” Occupation “Consultant,” Employer “Self,” and Length of Time in Present Occupation “43 Years.” Under “Total Pilot Time To Date,” Lindbergh has written “7000” (Civil) and “1000” (Military) and, “17” (Civil–in Last 6 months). Typed (not carbon) on the front of the document under “Limitations” is: “Holder shall wear glasses which correct for near and distant vision while exercising the privileges of his airman certificate.” Reverse bears pencil notations regarding Lindbergh’s medical examination. In fine condition. While Lindbergh was initially against US entry into World War II, he supported the war effort after Pearl Harbor and flew many combat missions in the Pacific as a civilian consultant, 1000 miles according to this application. The White House refused to reinstate Lindbergh’s Army Air Corps Colonel’s commission that he had resigned in April 1941 after FDR had accused him a ‘defeatist and appeaser’ because of his recommendation that the United States negotiate a neutrality pact with Nazi Germany. An unusual item making almost direct reference to his record-breaking flight in 1927.
