The Aviator's Wife
by Melanie Benjamin
The hardest thing for me to read in this book was how this wife of Charles Lindbergh was never acknowledged for what she did. She was an amazing woman. I realize she was happier in the background and didn't have a personality that wanted attention. I still wish she had been better recognized for her achievements.
It was awesome reading about this history. I loved it. I was blown away and heartbroken by the tragedy they faced with their son being kidnapped. I wish Charles had understood better how awesome his wife was. I don't feel like he appreciated, cherished her like he should have.
Charles was an amazing person and did amazing things for aviation and I'm grateful for all he has contributed and for his sacrifice. Also, I realize that marriages were not as equalitarian back then as they are now. With that said, I feel Charles was ahead of his time in training Ann how to pilot a plane and do all she did. It was sad to me that he wasn't more attached to his kids. I realize that most dads were not attached to their kids the way they are now, mostly because they had to work so hard to support their family and dads didn't have the time to be as involved in their kids lives or be hands on back then. Nevertheless, it still made me sad for what he was missing out on and how he continually forced his wife to choose between him or the kids. Ann was an amazing woman, Charles was lucky he had her. I loved the history in this book and appreciate so much all that Charles and Ann did for aviation, so we can have the benefits of their hard work today.
