Product Description
We sent a small family...a man and his wife and their 6 month old baby boy....to research the story and then follow Lindbergh all the way from San Diego to Paris. Robin D. Williams just happens to be one of the top filmmakers in America, but he also is one of the most seasoned travelers in America and we knew he could pull this off. He takes us to El Cajon, California where he found Ed Morrow (no relation to Ann's family) living all by himself in a typical California house. They sat on the front porch talking about the "Lindbergh Days." From this front porch, Robin and his family take us on a fabulous journey across the United States, following Lindbergh across deserts, mountains, plains and finally to St. Louis where Lindbergh showed off the brand new plane to the financial backers at Lambert Field. Then off again to Garden City, Long Island, and the Garden City Hotel to prepare for the flight across the Atlantic....delayed for one week because of bad weather. ! From the "take off" at Roosevelt Field at 7:52 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time on the morning of May 20, 1927 we begin a terrifying flight filled with suspense. This film displays how we can pack our suitcase and follow Lindbergh all the way to Paris and discover the most beautiful and fascinating countryside that America has to offer. Lindbergh's route of travel went over the Breadbasket of America, Long Island, New York; New England, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, Ireland, the Ring of Kerry, St. George's Channel, Lands End, Cornwall, Devon, the English Channel, the Normandy Invasion Beaches, and up the Seine River to gay Paree! This film is a very entertaining SHOW! And to know that a family of three, including a 6 month old baby boy, did this entire trip with ease and comfort makes it all the more viable for all of us who love the adventure and excitement of "travel."
