Charles A. Lindbergh; Is Back In Uniform Joins Air Farce As Brigadier General WASHINGTON (INS)— Charles A. Lindbergh is beck ia uniform today for the first time iu more I than 15 years. The famous transatlantic flyer, who quit the military before Pearl Harbor, returned Lo k U»e air fort e Monday as a brigadier general. Moth he and the Pentagon refused to talk about his new assignment. The air force announced only that Lindbergh will serve as a special assistant In its research and development section. A spokesman said he Is being assigned "to classified projects of special concern to the secretary of the air force." Speculation Immediately arose that the flyer, an expert on aerodynamics and electronics, was called to give the air force help In perfecting two intercontinental guided missiles — the Convair Atlas and the North American Navaho. ..... .... His current tour of duty as an active officer is expected to last three weeks or possibly longer. Another possible explanation for his recall by the Pentagon was the trouble which the air force has had with the F-100 super-sabre jet fighter. The Sabrejets, which have been taking unexplainable dives, were grounded last week pending investigation of three crashes, the last of which killed British air commodore C. I). Stephenson in Florida. ” \ Still another chore for the onetime air-mail pilot, whose daring non-stop New York-to-Paris flight in 1927 stirred the world, may be ironing out wrinkles in the new F-104. a stiij faster model than the F-100 sabrejet. 4-H LEADERS from Page One) Kirkland township.
