Wow! he was  a strange one

[odd duck]

There were a host of strange and scarey theories  politcal, social and scientific about in the 20's and 30's and a lot of prominent people subscribed to them it's one of the things that make the history and fiction of this era so interesting to read and game!I had'nt heard of this one before or of Lindy's involvement in it, thanks for posting it

"You might also know that Lindbergh was a peace activist who opposed American involvement in World War II - until Pearl Harbor, after which he volunteered to fly combat missions in the Pacific."

There are plenty of other sources which would pin Lindbergh as a fascist sympathizer. He certainly was a bit of a weirdo. I think Rooswelt actually prevented from taking any major part in military operations when the US entered the war.

Lindberg did have fascist leanings, but you have to give him credit, when the US entered the war he jumped in with both feet. IIRC he was forbidden to fly combat missions but he did sneak one or two in. He also helped pilots get better performance out of Corsairs and P-38s with better tecniques.

I can imagine Charlie flitting around the globe seeking out rare components and elixirs with his mad-scientist pal and their loyal troup of henchmen!
