To commemorate Charles Lindbergh's famous 1927 solo flight across the Atlantic, Parker Brothers produced this card game to recreate the exciting journey. The objective of The New Lindy Flying Game was to score 3200 miles using mileage cards without picking any obstruction cards, such as the delay or hop off card. "The pleasure of the game correctly played will reward them amply." Image: The New Lindy Flying Game, Improved Edition, late 1920s. Gift of the Captain John B. Russell Family. 2012.147.229
