London: John Murray, 1953. First British edition of Lindbergh's autobiographical account about the events leading up to and including his 1927 solo trans-Atlantic flight. Octavo, original blue cloth, illustrated. Presentation copy, inscribed by the author on the title page, "To Harry Dalgaard With best wishes, Charles A. Lindbergh." Near fine in a very good dust jacket with a few small chips. Signed examples of the first British edition are uncommon. Winner of the 1954 Pulitzer Prize for Autobiography, this is Charles Lindberghs riveting account of the first nonstop flight between the United States and Europe he undertook in 1927. "At its exciting best, this book keeps the reader cockpit close to a rare adventure" (Time).
