	The American Experience \| Lindbergh \| Enhanced Transcript
		Lindbergh was able to identify his son's decomposed body by examining its teeth.
		Lindbergh campaigned for conservation around the globe and he opposed the development of the supersonic transport.
		Lindbergh prepared for his own death as carefully as he had planned his flight to Paris, even saw that his physician filled out and signed his death certificate in advance, leaving only the date blank.

	Lindbergh
		Lindbergh, the only one who had recent dive-bombing experience, rolled off at the edge of a squall, steadied his Lightning, and "pickled off" his weapon at 2,500 feet.
		Lindbergh provided the idea, but it was MacDonald's endorsement, backed by the enormous respect accorded him by the group, that saw the experiment to fruition.
		Lindbergh instinctively sighted on the Mitsubishi is radial engine and held down the buttons, his fighter bucking, gunpowder fumes filling his cockpit.

	Charles Lindbergh Timeline
		Chief Pilot Lindbergh was on a mail flight on September 16, 1926 when he made an emergency jump at night in a blinding snow and rain storm because his plane ran out of fuel after he became lost in darkness and violent weather, after more than two hours of rigorous flying.
		The Lindberghs' firstborn, Charles A. Lindbergh Jr., is kidnapped and murdered.
		Anne Spencer Lindbergh, eldest daughter of Charles and Anne Morrow Lindbergh, died of cancer in 1993 at the age of 53.

		Operation Lindbergh: surgeons in New York used 'telemedicine' to operate on a patient in France
		The hour-long operation was carried out by three French surgeons at a control console equipped with monitor screens, linked to the robots via a high-speed optical-fibre network.
		He said the operation was a "richly symbolic milestone" that laid the foundations for globalised surgery.

	Laparoscopic surgery - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Laparoscopic surgery, also called keyhole surgery (when natural body openings are not used), bandaid surgery, or minimally invasive surgery (MIS), is a surgical technique.
		The restricted vision, difficult handling of the instruments (hand-eye coordination), lack of tactile perception and the limited working area can increase the possibility of damage to surrounding organs and vessels, either accidentally or through the difficulty of procedures.
		The first transatlantic surgery (Lindbergh Operation) ever performed was a laparoscopic gallbladder removal.

		Doctors dubbed the 54-minute procedure "Operation Lindbergh" -- in honour of Charles Lindbergh and his breakthrough solo flight across the Atlantic.
		The operation's success raises the possibility of remote robot surgery on wounded soldiers on battlefields or astronauts in space.
		Previously, such operations would have endangered patients because of communications delays but the success was the culmination of two-and-a-half years of research by French telecommunications group France Telecom.

	Lindbergh: U.S. Air Mail Service Pioneer
		Charles Lindbergh loads the first sack of mail aboard a Robertson Aircraft Corporation DH 4 for the inaugural route of the St. Louis to Chicago contract airmail service in April, 1926.
		Although he was not the only pilot considering the feat, Lindbergh had many things going for him—an indomitable spirit and positive attitude as well as youth, energy, and a natural desire to rise to the challenge of a nonstop transcontinental flight.
		It is thought that Lindbergh carried 5 covers only on this flight, although it is also believed that he was offered $1000 to carry a small package of mail, which he turned down because of his concern over weight.

		Commenting on the operation, Professor Marescaux stated: "I believe that this demonstration of the feasibility of a completely safe remotely performed surgical procedure, and notably the first trans-Atlantic operation, ushers in the third revolution we have seen in the field of surgery in the past ten years.
		Doctors dubbed the procedure Operation Lindbergh in honour of Charles Lindbergh and his breakthrough solo flight across the Atlantic.

	A trans-Atlantic, robot surgery on gall-bladder (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Code named "Operation Lindbergh" after the first solo trans-Atlantic flight, which took 33 1/2 hours in 1927, the procedure was carried out Sept. 7 using a fiber-optic network that passed commands along to robot surgeons in about 155 milliseconds.
		The operation, using a minimally invasive surgical procedure, took 45 minutes, with the patient under a general anesthetic administered by medical personnel in the operating room in Strasbourg.
		Key to the operation across more than 4,000 miles was the ability to convert video images and surgical movements into electronic signals that could be transmitted over a France Telecom high-bandwidth, fiber-optic line at 10 megabits per second, so quickly that they appeared instantaneous to the surgeons in New York.

		The operation was the result of a partnership between Mount Sinai hospitals' Gagner, and Jaques Marescaux of the European Institute of Telesurgery in Strasbourg, and involved two teams of surgeons on either end, linked by a high-speed fibre-optic cable.
		According to the surgeons, the biggest challenge faced was minimising the "lag" effect — if the time delay between the surgeons and the robot was too long, or slightly out of sync, it would destroy the timing and "feel" of the surgeons.
		The robot comprised three "arms", two of which held the operating instruments and one that held the laparoscope, which is a minute camera in a flexible tube.

	"Telesurgery" by Edward Willett
		In the September 7 operation, Dr. Michel Gagner, 41, a Canadian, and Dr. Jacques Marescaux, a Frenchman, sat in a room in Manhattan in front of a computerized control panel and a giant television screen and manipulated robot arms located in an operating room in Strasbourg University Hospital in France, to perform the hour-long surgery.
		The difference between that and what happened September 7 was that in that case the operation was really carried out by surgeons in Rome; the experts in Baltimore only watched what was going on and advised.
		The experiment, called Operation Lindbergh because of its transatlantic aspect, was history-making because, much like the Spirit of St. Louis's flight, many experts thought it couldn't be done.

	Interview with Robert Duggan, Computer Motion: TWST
		The success of the procedure, named “Operation Lindbergh,” will surely be remembered in history as the beginning of a revolution in the delivery of health care.
		In the 1850s the introduction of anesthesia made it possible for people to tolerate the procedures — surgery done before this time was very limited because of the inability of patients to withstand the terrible pain.
		Using a camera that provides 10 or 15 times magnification, surgeons for the first time were able to operate inside the body without making large incisions to allow them direct vision of the area that needed repair.
