[Leica] IMG: Lindbergh who?

[Nathan Wajsman]

I had no idea that Lindbergh’s flight was a fake ;-) Just like Columbus’s “discovery” of America, 500 years after the Vikings had been there.

Cheers,
Nathan

The Alcock & Brown 1919 landing site for the very first non-stop transatlantic flight is about 4km from this bottle.

Luckily they weren't hurt.
