Scope and Contents
This collection consists of nine photographs, most of which are duplicates (there are two different images), of Charles Augustus Lindbergh taken during his time in the Pacific during World War II. The photographs are of various sizes ranging from 2.5 x 3.75 inches up to 8 x 10 inches. Both images were taken in May 1944 on the Green Islands, in the Australian Territory of New Guinea. One shows Lindbergh in the cockpit of a Vought F4U Corsair and the second is an informal group photo of Lindbergh with some members of the Marine Fighting Squadron 223 (VMF-223) who are identified as Edward Firestone, Vincent Lipovsky, and Henry Emery, taken after they all returned from a combat mission over New Britain and New Ireland, Papua New Guinea.
