THE SPRINGFIELD UNION, Mass., May 22, 1932 

* Amelia Earhart - transatlantic flight
* 1st woman to achieve solo
* Airplane flight success (1st report)


The top of the front page has a three column headline: "HER OWN THRILLING STORY TOLD BY WOMAN AVIATOR" with several subheads. Also a three column photo showing Earhart's airplane with heading: "First Woman to 'Solo' the Atlantic Ocean With Plane That Gave Thrill of Triumph" (see) This was the first female solo flight across the Atlantic.
Complete with 40+ pages, light toning and minor wear at the margins, generally nice.
