"The Lone Eagle" was just one of many nicknames given to Charles Lindbergh by the press after he became the first pilot to fly nonstop from New York to Paris in May of 1927. Steve Carroll, who wrote and performs Charles Lindbergh: The Lone Eagle, feels it was an apt description of the man.

"Almost everything Lindbergh did, he did alone,” Carroll said. “Whether it was flying the Atlantic, heading his son's kidnapping investigation, or making a stand against World War II, he always seemed to be taking on the world all by himself."

The play spans Lindbergh’s life as he returns from the grave to “set the record straight about my life,” as he says. We learn of his early barnstorming days, the famous flight to Paris, the unpopular stance he took against entering World War II, his subsequent heroism as a fighter pilot and his final days as a world renowned environmentalist.

Reeve Lindbergh, president of the Lindbergh Foundation, wrote Carroll to express her thanks after a command performance of his play at the 75th anniversary of her father’s famous Paris flight.

“I was indeed impressed by your performance, which I found moving and very thoughtful, with a fresh perspective on my father that contained much truth,” Lindbergh wrote. “You did get something of my father that was very real, and it meant a lot to me … It makes people think.”
