First Woman to fly the Atlantic...



Item # 705160

June 06, 1928

THE NEW YORK TIMES, June 6, 1928 

* Woman aviator Amelia Earhart
* About to make history
* Airplane "Friendship"


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 three column headline: "EARHART PLANE POISED FOR OCEAN DASH" with subheads. (see) Lengthy text continues inside. Weather would delay her from finishing the journey for about 2 weeks. Always nice to have notable events in history reported in this World famous publication.
Complete in 52 pages, light toning and a little wear at the margins, more so along the spine, generally in good condition.
