Famed Flier Charles A. Lindbergh Visited Home on Highbrook Avenue in
1934
In early March, 1934, famed trans-Atlantic flier Colonel Charles A.
Lindbergh visited Major and Mrs. William Robinson of Pelham Manor at their
home located at 400 Highbrook Avenue. Later the same week, The Pelham
Sun published a brief item about the visit. The text of that article
appears immediately below.
"COL. LINDBERGH VISITED PELHAM FRIENDS MONDAY
-----
Noted Flyer Makes Short Call at Residence of Maj. and Mrs. William
Robertson of Pelham Manor.
-----
Among the noted visitors to the Pelhams this week was Col. Charles A.
Lindbergh, who called at the residence of Major and Mrs. William Robertson
of No. 400 Highbrook avenue on Monday afternoon.
Major Robertson is a vice-president of the Curtis-Wright Aircraft
Corporation and a member of the Robertson Aircraft Corporation of St.
Louis. He was one of the backers of Lindbergh's flight across the Atlantic
in 1927, and has been a friend of the flier for many years.
Col. Lindbergh motored to Pelham to visit Mrs. Robertson's father, Mr.
James Livingston, who is convalescing from a recent illness."
