Signed book: We. First edition. NY: G.P. Putnam’s Sons, 1927. Hardcover, 6 x 8.25. Signed on the first free-end page in black ink, “Charles A. Lindbergh, Des Moines, Sept. 11, 1941.” Scattered toning to the pages, a few stray marks on the front pastedown page, and a loose, but intact hinge, otherwise fine condition. Outstanding first edition, crisply signed by the fearless pioneer. After publicly opposing the US’s involvement in WWII, Lindbergh was criticized by President Roosevelt, who called him a “defeatist and appeaser” after the pilot suggested a neutrality pact with Germany. The day he signed this book, Lindbergh would deliver his controversial “Who Are the War Agitators?” speech in Des Moines, Iowa, calling attention to British and Jewish leaders who sought to involve the US in the war, a dialogue many would later deem as anti-Semitic. Lindbergh fervently denied this sentiment, but nevertheless, stood by his beliefs. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
