On this episode of Our American Stories, Before he became the most famous pilot in the world, Charles Lindbergh was a barnstormer, a daredevil wing walker, and a U.S. airmail pilot flying dangerous routes with little margin for error. Long before his historic Atlantic crossing, Lindbergh learned to trust machines, weather, and his own instincts in the air.

Kirk Higgins of the Bill of Rights Institute shares the lesser-known story of Lindbergh’s early years and the unlikely experiences that prepared him to attempt what no one else dared: flying solo across the Atlantic when others insisted it could only be done with a crew.
