First Solo Across the Atlantic Woman
“Culmore, Northern Ireland, May 21, 1932. Amelia Earhart climbs from her Lockheed Vega in a sheep pasture. Foreground shows farmers staring at the red plane and the aviator removing her flying cap; midground reveals locals in cloth caps walking up the field; soft Irish hills and a damp morning sun frame her solo flight from Newfoundland.”
