SUMMARY:Mighty Talks: A Convenient Villain
DESCRIPTION:The National Museum of the Mighty Eighth Air Force’s monthly Mighty Talk series continue with A Convenient Villain: Charles A. Lindbergh’s remarkable and controversial legacy preparing the U.S. for war\, with author Dr. Jonathan Reich\, M.D. This program will take place on October 25th at 2:00 pm at the museum.\n\nThe program is free to the public\, but please register  at https://forms.gle/3Bccw7F3QCoipusD8\n\nAbout the BookBetween 1936 and 1938\, Charles Lindbergh made 3 public trips to Nazi Germany. The military intelligence he collected was not only provided to the U.S. military but also to U.S. manufacturers of airplanes and their components. Lindbergh’s consultation with U.S. airplane manufacturers was entirely at his own initiative and expense. This book is the first to document the specific intelligence he acquired and how this information won the war.\n\nThis book re-evaluates the life and legacy of one of the most enigmatic and important political figures of the 20th Century: Charles Lindbergh. Much of Lindbergh’s contribution to American preparatory air power prior to World War II and medicine of the 1930s is unknown. Using his aerospace engineering background\, Dr. Reich combed through various archives to document these achievements. He also reviewed Lindbergh’s record opposing American entry into another European War to provide a new Jewish generational perspective on his advocacy and his conflict with American Jews.\n\nAbout the AuthorJonathan D. Reich\, M.D.\, is a cardiologist and faculty member at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine whose career has long been rooted in research. The author of numerous articles for medical journals\, Reich turned his attention to historical research during the COVID-19 pandemic after reading A. Scott Berg’s Lindbergh.\n\nDrawing on his research background and lifelong interest in aviation\, Reich began an in-depth study of Charles Lindbergh\, exploring the famed aviator’s complex legacy and contributions to aviation\, medicine and American preparedness for World War II. His research culminated in A Convenient Villain: Charles A. Lindbergh’s Remarkable and Controversial Legacy Preparing the U.S. for War.

SUMMARY:Mighty Talks: Enemies No More with Adam Makos
DESCRIPTION:The National Museum of the Mighty Eighth Air Force’s monthly Mighty Talk series continue with Enemies No More where Adam Makos shares the remarkable true stories behind two of his books—his bestselling classic A Higher Call and his newest release\, Tidal Wave—both true tales of courage\, humanity\, and wartime enemies who became unlikely friends. This program will take place on November 19th at 11:00 am at the museum.\n\nThe program is free to the public\, but please register at https://forms.gle/umRQ81S9sW1ozneC6\n\nAbout the BooksTIDAL WAVE: The Pilots\, the Princess\, and the Enemy Ace: A True Story of Courage and Survival in WWII reveals the little-known aftermath of Operation Tidal Wave\, the daring August 1\, 1943\, low-level B-24 raid against the vital Ploesti oil fields in Romania. Through the experiences of downed American airmen\, Princess Ecaterina “Catherine” Caradja\, Romanian fighter ace Prince Constantine Cantacuzino and King Michael I\, Adam Makos explores the extraordinary acts of courage\, resistance and compassion that followed one of the costliest missions in American airpower history.\n\nThe New York Times bestseller A Higher Call recounts the remarkable encounter between American B-17 pilot Charlie Brown and German fighter ace Franz Stigler. With Brown’s badly damaged bomber struggling to return home\, Stigler made the extraordinary decision to spare the aircraft and escort it to safety. Decades later\, the former enemies reunited\, revealing a powerful true story of honor\, humanity and friendship amid the brutality of war.\n\nAbout the AuthorHailed by the Associated Press as “a masterful storyteller\,” Adam Makos is the New York Times bestselling author of A Higher Call\, Spearhead\, and Devotion—now a major motion picture starring Glen Powell. The Los Angeles Times places him “in the top ranks of military writers\,” a title earned through immersive research that has taken him from flying a World War II bomber to journeying into North Korea in search of a missing American aviator.

SUMMARY:Wreaths Across America 2026 at Andersonville National Cemetery
DESCRIPTION:Each December\, Andersonville National Historic Site participates in the Wreaths Across America program as a special way to honor and remember the sacrifice of military service members during the holiday season. Wreaths sponsored through the nonprofit Wreaths Across America organization are delivered to and placed on gravesites in national cemeteries across the country\, including Andersonville National Cemetery. Sponsored wreaths can be designated for placement on the specific grave of a loved one\, or left undesignated and placed on one of thousands of gravesites that otherwise may not be visited or honored. \nWith the invaluable help and support of Bennett International\, the Taylor Family Foundation\, Wreaths Across America\, Friends of Andersonville\, the American Ex-Prisoners of War\, and other partners\, thousands of wreaths are brought to Andersonville National Cemetery each year. Our shared goal is to honor each of the over 20\,000 gravesites in the cemetery with a wreath. \n2026 Event Information\nThe main event will take place at 12:00 pm on Saturday\, December 13\, in Andersonville National Cemetery. Volunteers can either bring the completed registration form below with them or arrive at 9:30 am to register. \nThe public is invited to attend a small ceremony to be held at the Rostrum at 12:00 pm\, when wreaths honoring each branch of military service will be presented. Limited seating will be available.
