Before Amelia Earhart was anything, she was a local pilot who was hoping to be the first woman to cross the Atlantic. This photograph was taken on June 6, 1928 and shows the unknown novelty as it was being announced that she was going to attempt the flight (which would make her famous) as soon as the weather cleared up. This is a fantastic early image dated from before she was famous making it one of the only that predates her flight we have ever seen! Issued by Wide World Photos and stamped on the back with a full paper caption as well. One of the top images of Earhart we have ever handled in over twenty years!
