Within the cracked and weathered exterior of an old steamer trunk, a family
secret was waiting to be discovered. In 1999 Nova Hall, grandson of Donald A.
Hall, uncovered a locked World War I era steamer trunk in his family’s garage.
Found inside was a collection of over 100 never-before-seen photographs,
personal correspondence with Charles A. Lindbergh, original documents,
design instruments, models, and film footage. Because of these "treasures"
archived by Donald A. Hall, we discover the mysterious man behind Lindbergh’
s historic trans-Atlantic flight to Paris. This book is a visually inspiring story of
their teamwork and triumph.
Spirit and Creator brings to life, the previously unknown collection of secrets
surrounding the creation of this famous airplane. The over-sized horizontal
format includes more than one hundred unpublished photographs, personal
correspondence with Charles A. Lindbergh, original documents, design
instruments, models, and film footage excerpts. Aviation books have focused
on the trans-Atlantic flight, but rarely describe the bigger story that is equally as
remarkable. Spirit and Creator fills this historical gap. The Spirit of St. Louis
was built in San Diego in only sixty-days, a feat that is impossible to recreate
today without modern technology.
"This is a wonderful story, and a true one as well, in which friendship and
adventure combine in a delightful account of two young men working together in
1927 to bring a dream to life, as they design and build a little silver airplane
called the Spirit of St. Louis." – Reeve Lindbergh, daughter and author.
Author, Nova Hall, the only grandchild of Donald A. Hall, Sr., has lived in Arizona
for over 17 years. Following in his grandfather and father's footsteps as a
student pilot, photographer, and writer, he co-founded Orbital Air, Inc. (with
David J. Pashman) to fulfill their shared goal of developing new aircraft while
promoting the golden years of aviation. In 2002, he spoke at Hofstra University,
AirVenture Oshkosh, the 25th anniversary Lindbergh Foundation Awards,
participated on the National Lindbergh 75th Anniversary Committee, and co-
founded the Donald A. Hall Aviation Foundation.
