AMELIA EARHART
A signed card and piece of fabric from Earhart's original Lockheed Vega 5B.
Collection comprised of:
1.) Card signed “Amelia Earhart”. 3½ x 1½, toned. Small smudge at “t”. Fine condition. 2.)
Fabric tile, 2 inches x 2 inches affixed to a 13x18 poster. This swatch of fabric is from the
original Lockheed Vega 5B flown by Amelia Earhart when she became the first women to make
a nonstop solo flight across the Atlantic (May 20-21, 1932). Earhart made the 3260-kilometer
flight from Harbor Grace, newfoundland to Culmore, Londonderry, Northern Ireland in 14
hours 54 minutes. On August 24-25, 1932, in the same Vegas, Earhart flew from Loas
Angeles, California to Newark New Jersey covering the 3940 kilometers in 19 hours 5 minutes.
This was the first solo nonstop transcontinental flight by a woman. The Lockheed Vegas is now
part of the collection of the National Air and Space Museum. Earhart established other
aviation records that did not include "woman", such as first Hawaii-to-mainland solo
and first Mexico City-to-New York flight (both 1935). In 1937, Earhart was lost over the
Pacific in an attempted around-the-world flight. Framed to an overall size of 28¾ x 26¼.
Frame exhibits wearing at corners.
