New York Times Rotogravure Page for June 5, 1932, Showing Amelia Earhart in England after Her Solo Transatlantic Flight
Add to SetSummary
Amelia Earhart made world headlines when, in 1932, she became the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean. The crossing, from Harbour Grace, Newfoundland, to Culmore, Northern Ireland, took Earhart 14 hours, 56 minutes in her Lockheed Vega. The press dubbed Earhart "Lady Lindy," and indeed her fame as a pilot was second only to Charles Lindbergh's.
