Many Americans who no longer remember the legacy of the world’s first true media celebrity have forgotten Charles A. Lindbergh–aviator, adventurer, author, activist, pathfinder, fighter pilot, and conservationist. This book brings back to life that epic career in evocative text and hundreds of photographs, many rarely published, reawakening the careers of a man and his wife who achieved more, in more varied fields, than perhaps any couple in history. Lindbergh’s epic non-stop flight from New York to Paris in a single-engine aircraft was the biggest media event in the 1920s and set up the United States to become a world leader in aviation.

As an aspiring teenage photographer, Bruce McAllister documented life in Hana, Hawaii's Paradise, in the 1950s, shooting Kodachrome photographs with his reliable Leica. Historical photographs from local and multiple sources were added to compile this book. There are rare photographs of Paul Fagan, who turned Hana from a failing sugar mill into an exotic tourist destination. There are also chapters on the infamous, but colorful Hana Highway, Hana's beaches, the original Hotel Hana-Maui, the famous Hasegawa General Store, Kaupo, Haleakala National Park, and Charles Lindbergh's last years in Kipahulu.
