Charles Lindbergh visit
When the camera-shy pilot Charles Lindbergh tried to exit the White House after a visit with President Franklin Roosevelt in 1939, he found all the doors covered by news cameramen. He is seen here running the photographer’s gauntlet as he emerged from a side door of the West Wing. The location of the Press Room at the time allowed reporters easy access to the president’s visitors.
Lindbergh stymied by photographers. Washington, D.C., April 20. Camera-shy Col. Charles A. Lindbergh leaving the White House after a conference with President Roosevelt today, found all exits well 'covered' by news cameramen. Here we see the famous flyer running the photographer's gauntlet as he emerged from a side door of the Executive Mansion
