Three siblings who claim they are Charles Lindbergh's out-of-wedlock children are releasing a book next week that alleges the famous flier had seven illegitimate children in all from relationships with their mother, her sister and his German private secretary.
"The Double Life of Charles A. Lindbergh" alleges that Lindbergh had three children with Munich hatmaker Brigitte Hesshaimer, two children with her sister, Marietta, and another two children with his German private secretary, identified only as Valeska, the publishing company said.
Brigitte Hesshaimer's children, Dyrk and David Hesshaimer and Astrid Bouteuil, said in 2003 a DNA test proved they were the U.S. aviator's children, adding that they had met their half-siblings in the United States.
