Biographical / Historical

Charles Augustus Lindbergh and Anne Spencer Morrow Lindbergh went on a survey flight in 1933 in their Lockheed Model 8 Sirius (which was named Tingmissartoq during this trip). Lindbergh was technical advisor for Pan American Airways (Pan Am) and was sent to research possible transatlantic flight paths. The Lindberghs flew from New York to Newfoundland, then to Europe via Labrador, Greenland, and Iceland. They visited several European cities before flying down the coast of Africa and across the Atlantic to South America. They then flew down the Amazon before going back north to New York. The trip covered 30,000 miles, four continents, and 21 countries. One of their stops was Lisbon, Portugal. Germano de Faria Moura Júnior (1901-1980) served with the Portuguese Naval Aeronautical Service, becoming a second lieutenant in 1924, and attaining the rank of first lieutenant in 1942. He, along with other members of the Naval Aeronautical Service, met with Charles Lindbergh when the Lindberghs stopped in Lisbon on their 1933 survey flight.
