Charles Lindbergh and Alexis Carrel

The Lone Eagle flew from New York to Paris in the Spirit of Saint-Louis in 1927. Less known, in the 30s, Lindbergh worked with the French surgeon Alexis Carrel (Nobel Prize of Medicine) on an artificial heart. Together, they published "The Culture of Organs" and developed a perfusion pump.

I will never be like Lindbergh, yet it is heart-warming to discover that someone else once was interested in human and environmental causes, worked as a bio-engineer and was a passionate of aeronautics.
