Equipment and Supplies

The Lindberghs were meticulous in their preparations for flights over five continents. While fuel and oil were stationed and lodging and meals provided at their planned stops (or by their support ship Jelling on the second flight), they slept in the aircraft and ate canned rations when necessary.

Primus stove, pot, canned corned beef, tomatoes, and emergency rations. These objects will be on display in the Pioneers of Flight gallery at the National Air and Space Museum's Mall building.
