Description

LINDBERGH signs a detailed security questionnaire from the Atomic Energy Commission

Exceptional DS, signed “Charles A. Lindbergh,” six pages on three vertically adjoined sheets, 7.75 x 10.5, June 18, 1954. A Personnel Security Questionnaire for the Atomic Energy Commission. The detailed form, filled out by typewriter, covers every aspect of Lindbergh’s background and activities. He outlines in detail his vital statistics, complete list of residences from 1939, relatives, education, previous employers, international travels (”Have visited most countries of the world; on all continents, since 1930, for purposes of airline survey, study, and interest. Dates of departure and return are too numerous to mention”), and memberships (including the controversial America First Committee during World War II). In keeping with the McCarthyite spirit of the time, Lindbergh also denies affiliations with communism, fascism, and the like. In addition to signing and dating in full on page 4, Lindbergh has also written at the top of the first page “File Copy—C. A. L.” Mild handling wear, otherwise fine condition. A virtual autobiography of the famed aviator! RRAuction COA.
