Charles Lindbergh
Nova Hall was cleaning out his garage in Sedona 13 years ago when he discovered an old steamer trunk with his grandfather's initials on it.
The trunk contained blueprints drawn by his grandfather Donald A. Hall of the Spirit of St. Louis, the airplane in which legendary aviator Charles Lindbergh flew the first-ever solo flight across the Atlantic Ocean in 1927.
Lindbergh needed a special aircraft that could fit his 6-foot-3 frame. In the trunk were photographs of his grandfather and Lindbergh in their mid-20s, as well as letters and notes the pair exchanged regarding the aircraft.
The Arizona Republic says the 35-year-old Hall now is using art to spread his grandfather's untold story and re-ignite a lagging passion for science and innovation among the nation's youth.
