    CALL OF THE WILD (4/21/37)

    Charles LindberghAfter flying solo from New York to Paris in 1927, Charles Lindbergh told a reporter he’d followed the “call of the wild.” The term stuck and Lindy attached the name to his VGL pod, the sister ship of Amelia Earhart’s CALAMITY JANE. When Earhart disappeared in 1937, CALL OF THE WILD was grounded and finally retired without ever being flown, October 1941.
