FITCHBURG DAILY ENTERPRISE, Mass. June 5, 1928

Less than 13 months after Charles Lindbergh's heralded accomplishment, Amelia Earhart became the first woman to achieve the feat. The front page has a one column heading: "WEATHER HOLDS UP FRIENDSHIP" with subheads. (see) Weather would delay her from finishing the journey for about 2 weeks.
Other news, sports and advertisements of the day. Complete in 8 pages, light toning and minor wear at the margins, generally nice.
