THE NEW YORK TIMES, December 20, 1930
* Amelia Earhart autogyro flight
* Willow Grove, Pennsylvania

The top of page 3 has a one column heading: "Miss Earhart Pilots Passenger In Autogiro" with subhead. (see images) I suspect this is one of the few publications to report this particular event as other titles in our inventory do not.
Complete with 38 pages, rag edition in nice condition.
source: today in Science: The first autogyro pilot to carry a passenger was Amelia Earhart at Pitcairn Field, Willow Grove, Pa. She flew a PCA-2 Pitcairn Autogyro, making several trips with various passengers until dark. It was only on the previous day, 18 Dec 1930, that she made her first solo flight in the autogyro, also making her the first female to make a solo flight.
