CAL's time in Georgia after his first solo flight[edit]

Your article reads "For the next few weeks Lindbergh continued to practice take-offs and landings until he perfected his technique." According to Lindbergh, however, at page 43 of his 1927 book, "WE", he wrote that he left Americus "After a week of practice flights ...." and "This was my first cross country flight alone, less than a week after my first solo hop."

I didn't research or write it, so I'm not able to say. Maybe the NGE made an error; maybe Lindbergh exaggerated the speed with which he launched his flying career. bd2412 T 02:29, 18 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
