Amelia Earhart Flies Solo over the Atlantic Ocean ca. 1932

Description

Amelia Earhart began her second flight across the Atlantic Ocean on May 20, 1932, flying out from Harbor Grace, Newfoundland. On her first flight, Earhart was only allowed to take notes as a passenger; on the second she flew solo, a feat only accomplished previously by Charles Lindbergh. Landing in a field near Londonderry, Ireland, Earhart completed the flight in 15 hours and 18 minutes, the fastest Atlantic crossing at that time.
