"A Convenient Villain" Beyond the Legend: Unraveling the Legacy of Charles Lindbergh with Jonathan D. Reich, M.D. In-Person / Online
Few figures in American history are as controversial as Charles Lindbergh. Decades after his death, his legacy still sparks debate. His scientific contributions—like those to national security—are often overlooked to avoid complicating the narrative against him. Lindbergh co-invented the first working cardiac perfusion pump, proved that perfused organs could function outside the body, co-authored the leading medical textbook of his era, and advanced high-altitude aviation, saving pilots’ lives from WWII through Vietnam — all with only an eleventh-grade education.
Dr. Jonathan Reich graduated from Columbia University in 1986 with a degree in aerospace engineering. He worked for the Navy as an engineer for two years, then moved to Israel, where he began his Master’s Degree in Engineering. He received both his Master’s Degree and Medical Degree from the University of Miami in 1992. He trained as a pediatrician and then as a pediatric cardiologist at Emory University. Dr. Reich holds two faculty appointments—one at Johns Hopkins and the other at Stanford School of Medicine.
