Charles Lindbergh was on his way to see the Broadway musical "Rio Rita" when he decided to give the weather bureau a call just in case. The next morning NX-211, the "Spirit of St. Louis" lifted off Roosevelt Field in Long Island, NY bound for Paris, France. The rest is, as they say, history. Attached is NACA Technical Note No. 257, "Technical Preparation of the Airplane "Spirit of St. Louis"" by Donald Hall, the engineer who designed her.
Yeah, I know it's not a Kolb, but if you were waiting for the weather to clear so you could start a long flight, :-}, it might help you pass the time.

Richard,
Thanks so much for this find!
My dad was born on 19-May-1927 and has always enjoyed that coincidental connection. He's also an engineer as well as pilot (PT-19, T6, B25, Cessnas, Grumman Cheetah, 2 flights so far in my Firestar). He also loves reading nonfictional stuff.
I'm sending the report on to him as a belated birthday "gift" and he will eat it up, no doubt.
Thanks again!
-Ben
