Watched the movie yesterday.  Been years, never read We.  Who has?

He was 25 years old.  If I read the bio right, Lindy began flying at the age of 20.

Great movie.  Always did like Jimmy Stewart as an actor.  He also flew B-24s in WWII.  And they weren't milk runs either.

I liked that one as well. Stewart did a great job showing the risks and other issues setting it up that Lindhberg faced in that flight.
