I wonder how many of our fellow 170 Assn Members are aware that our very own Ev Cassagneres is the author of the official Lindbergh biographical books? Ev has authored several and was personal friends with Col. Lindbergh. His books are still in print.
In today's AvWeb article, he is also mentioned.
From AvWeb:
"Original parts of Charles Lindbergh's Spirit of St. Louis, in which the famed pilot flew non-stop in 1927 alone across the Atlantic, will be auctioned at Bonhams New York auction house Dec. 15. Parts removed by Lindbergh engineer Kenneth Lane include shock absorber bungee cords, spark plugs and a rocker arm from the Wright J5-C Whirlwind that powered the flight. The auction house estimates the "lot" at $80,000-120,000, but that's not all. Two other lots include a historic hand-signed typed letter from Lindbergh to historian Ev Cassagneres, and a testimonial from Irvin Air Chutes in which then Cadet Lindbergh's March 6, 1925, midair is described.
