"Charles and Anne Morrow Lindbergh: Couple of an Age" opened this month at the Morven Museum & Garden
PRINCETON -- Charles Lindbergh's solo flight from New York to Paris in 1927 catapulted him to fame, and the kidnapping and death of his firstborn son won him the world's sympathy in 1932.
But his heroism and fame were tarnished by his fascination with Hitler's Germany and comments he made about the war in Europe.
A new exhibition at the Morven Museum & Garden in Princeton explores the Lindberghs' vices and virtues as they survived tragedy, loss and controversy.
