FOR AVIATION BUFFS

Charles Lindbergh's flight   (The four video clips require about 20 minutes to view.)

Win Perkins, a real estate appraiser who specializes in airport properties, has posted on his Web site a video he created of Charles Lindbergh's famous and risky takeoff in the Spirit of St. Louis.   

According to Perkins, this is unlike any other presentation of the takeoff  footage. Perkins said he "painstakingly assembled news footage from five cameras that filmed Lindbergh's takeoff from Roosevelt Field, Long  Island and "mixed it with enhanced audio from the same newsreel sources."
