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.
