In 1929 Lindbergh married Anne Morrow (1906-2001), daughter of a wealthy diplomat; they had six children and she became a famous author in her own right. In 1932 their first son was kidnapped, and killed, by Bruno Richard Hauptmann. The crime and investigation were perhaps the most infamous of the time. The Lindbergh's left the country and settled in France. In his later years, Lindbergh lived in self-induced obscurity in Hana, [[Hawaii]].

He accepted a medal from [[Hermann Goering]] for his services to aviation. He attracted criticism and some regarded him as a [[Nazi]] sympathizer, a charge he strongly denied and which historians generally reject. Lindbergh strongly opposed U.S. entry into the [[Second World War]], and suggested that if the U.S. did enter, it should be on the side of Germany.
