From what condition did his aircraft suffer causing his fatal accident?

  • Engine Failure

  • Shot down by enemy fire

  • Mechanical Failure

  • Wings Damaged

Answer

Engine failure is a common cause of aviation accidents. It can happen for a variety of reasons, such as a mechanical failure, a fuel leak, or a fire. When an engine fails, the pilot loses power and control of the aircraft. This can lead to a crash, which can often be fatal. In the case of Lindbergh's flight, the engine failure was likely caused by a fuel leak.
