Insect spray gun, Lockheed Sirius "Tingmissartoq", Lindbergh

Charles Lindbergh and his wife, Anne Morrow Lindbergh, purchased this "Flit" insecticide spray gun in Para, Brazil during the latter part of their 1933 survey flights across the North and South Atlantic. Earlier in the trip the Lindberghs had to send home a can of insecticide spray (among other supplies) from Bathurst, Gambia so their over-loaded plane could take off. Since they were planning to fly up the Amazon River Basin, a vast jungle where contracting malaria would have likely been fatal, it was probably wise to buy a new can in Para to replace the insecticide they sent home.
