Item # 697090 ·
THE WORLD, New York City, June 8, 1928 

* Woman aviator Amelia Earhart
* About to make history

Less than 13 months after Charles Lindbergh's heralded accomplishment, Amelia Earhart became the first woman to achieve the feat. Near the bottom of the front page is a two column heading: "Fokker Plane Friendship Held Up by Adverse Wind" (see images) Weather would delay her from finishing the journey for more than a week.
Complete with 26 pages, light toning and a few small tears at margins, small library label near the top of the front page, a little irregular along the spine, otherwise good.
