Description

"Charles (A. Lindbergh)" solicits historical imagery from Trans World Airlines

TLS signed “Charles (A. Lindbergh),” one page, 7.75 x 11, Planorbe letterhead, August 14, 1971. Letter to Charles C. Tillinghast, Jr., chairman of Trans World Airlines, in part: "Would you be good enough to pass this letter on to whomever has charge of TWA historical photographs…Starting next year, my wife will publish several volumes of 'Diaries and Letters,' In these, there will be considerable mention of Transcontinental Air Transport, one of TWA's root companies as you know. If they are available, she would like to carry some photographs of the inauguration of TAT, in 1929. The best photos for her purpose would show one of the Ford tri-motors with passengers boarding or disembarking. Any photographs in which she is shown would be helpful…Anything showing my wife and/or me in connection with TAT or TWA up to 1942 would be of interest." In very good to fine condition, with light staining to the top and bottom edges, and a thin strip of mounting tape along the top edge. Accompanied by a full letter of authenticity from PSA/DNA.
