While Charles Lindbergh's place in history was sealed by thirty-three and a half hours aloft in May 1927, his life was bound up with themes in American history that spanned the twentieth century: the development of aviation, the importance of the mass media and the rise of a celebrity-based culture, controversy over American involvement in World War II, and an increasing awareness of the environment. The Missouri Historical Society's traveling and now-permanent exhibition "Lindbergh," designed to coincide with the seventy-fifth anniversary of Lindbergh's transatlantic flight, does a good job in elucidating both that singular event and Lindbergh's life and times. The exhibit designers give a clue to their approach by tracing out the exhibit with a three-color timeline—one color describing key events in Lindbergh's life; another, key events in aviation history; and the third, key events in world history.
