Fantastic signed 3” x 4” vintage black-and-white photograph of Amelia Earhart capturing a candid moment at an early aviation facility. Amelia Earhart, wearing her flight suit, is seen walking confidently away from a small building labeled "MEN PILOTS" on a sign visible behind her. She is holding gloves or headgear in one hand and wears a jumpsuit typical of early 20th-century aviators. An amazing photograph, capturing the first woman aviator to fly nonstop over the Atlantic Ocean, who disappeared in 1937 on one of her flights.
A man in a suit and straw boater hat leans casually on the porch railing, watching her with apparent interest. The building has a colonial-style facade.
Amelia Mary Earhart ( born July 24, 1897; disappeared July 2, 1937; declared dead January 5, 1939) was an American aviation pioneer. On July 2, 1937, she disappeared over the Pacific Ocean while attempting to become the first female pilot to circumnavigate the world. During her life, Earhart embraced celebrity culture and women's rights, and since her disappearance has become a global cultural figure. She was the first female pilot to fly solo non-stop across the Atlantic Ocean and set many other records. She was one of the first aviators to promote commercial air travel, wrote best-selling books about her flying experiences, and was instrumental in the formation of The Ninety-Nines, an organization for female pilots.
