VIVIAN FUCHS. Philatelic Envelope signed: "Vivian Fuchs",
6½x3½. First Day Cover honoring Amelia Earhart postmarked Atchison, Kansas,
July 24, 1963, 8-cent stamp affixed, FIRST DAY OF ISSUE. Cachet is
captioned: "Honoring Amelia Earhart, 1897-1937. Amelia Earhart's feats place her
among the legendaries of aviation. She was the first woman to fly the
Atlantic, the first woman to fly non-stop across the United States, the first
woman to fly from Hawaii to the United States and the first woman to be honored
with the Distinguished Flying Cross." Geologist Fuchs (1908-1999) led a
12-person Transantarctic Expedition on the first land crossing of
Antarctica. Starting from the Weddell Sea, he reached Scott Station on March
2, 1958, after traveling 2,158 miles in 98 days. This land crossing proved
conclusively that under the polar ice sheet there existed the single continent
of Antarctica. Fuchs, who directed the British Antarctic survey from 1958 to
1973, was knighted in 1958. Fine condition.
