Cartoon shows a boyishly handsome Charles Lindbergh opening his front door and finding a large valentine reading "We Love You, U.S." Uncle Sam and the cartoonist's small signature bear watch approvingly from hiding. When Lindbergh flew the Atlantic alone in May 1927, he became an overnight hero, not only in the United States, but around the world. His modesty and charm continued to enchant the American public in the years that followed.
