Silver Gelatin Photograph Signed and Inscribed by Amelia Earhart
Silver gelatin photographic print signed and inscribed by Amelia Earhart, "To Paul and Myrtle Mantz friends in need Amelia Earhart 1935." Paul Mantz was a noted air racing pilot, pioneering movie stunt pilot and consultant who gained fame on two stages: Hollywood and in air races. A nice association linking these two pioneers in their respective fields of aviation. The print measures 8 inches by 10 inches.
Amelia Earhart recorded a number of firsts in her extraordinary aviation career: she was the first person, man or woman, to fly solo from Hawaii to the U.S. mainland, Honolulu to Oakland. She was the first woman to fly the Atlantic in a plane (1928); the second person, and the first woman, to fly solo across the Atlantic (1932); and the first woman to fly solo across the continental U.S. She received the U.S. Distinguished Flying Cross for this record. She set many other records, wrote best-selling books about her flying experiences and was instrumental in the formation of The Ninety-Nines, an organization for female pilots.
