Vintage pearl-finish 6.5 x 8.5 photo of Charles Lindbergh posing outdoors with a hand on the propeller of his record-setting monoplane, the Spirit of St. Louis, signed in fountain pen, "C. A. Lindbergh, Mar. 27, 1928." In very good to fine condition, with light silvering to the darker areas of the image, light wrinkling, and two missing corner tips (easily matted out). On December 14, 1927, a Special Act of Congress awarded Lindbergh the Medal of Honor, despite the fact that it was almost always awarded for heroism in combat. It was presented to Lindbergh by President Coolidge at the White House on March 21, 1928, just six days before this photograph was signed.
