Charles Lindbergh, the American aviator and the first person to complete a solo nonstop transatlantic flight, had six children with his wife, Anne Morrow Lindbergh. Here are their names:
Charles Augustus Lindbergh Jr.: Charles Jr., also known as “Charlie,” was the first child of Charles and Anne Lindbergh. He was born on June 22, 1930. Tragically, he was kidnapped from his home on March 1, 1932, when he was just 20 months old. Despite a ransom payment, his body was found about two months later. The case became known as the “Lindbergh kidnapping,” and it had a profound impact on both Charles Lindbergh and the nation.
Jon Morrow Lindbergh: Jon is the second child of Charles and Anne. He was born on August 16, 1932, about five months after the kidnapping and death of his older brother. Jon pursued a career as a writer and has authored several books.
Land Morrow Lindbergh: Land, the third child of Charles and Anne, was born on March 24, 1937. Like his older brother Jon, he also became a writer.
Anne Spencer Lindbergh: Anne, the fourth child, was born on December 22, 1940. She is an artist and sculptor.
Scott Lindbergh: Scott, the fifth child, was born on March 1, 1942. He tragically died on August 11, 1943, at the age of one, from a congenital heart defect.
Reeve Lindbergh: Reeve, the sixth and youngest child, was born on November 4, 1945. Like her siblings, she is also an accomplished writer and has authored several books.
The Lindbergh family faced both triumphs and tragedies throughout their lives, with the kidnapping of their firstborn son leaving a lasting impact on the family and the nation’s history. Charles Lindbergh’s pioneering aviation achievements and his family’s experiences have made them an enduring part of American history.
