Additional Details

Less than a year after his record setting trans-Atlantic flight, Lindbergh decided to return to carrying air mail on his old route from Chicago to St. Louis, leaving 20 February and returning the following day. "The volume of mail provided by collectors and his admirers generally was so great that several planes were necessary to handle the load. However, Col. Lindbergh personally flew each plane at least a portion of the trip"--American Air Mail Catalogue, pg 1424.
