Vintage aerobatics material. Fascinating, mad as ever. What can I say: the flying circus.

On this day in History: 85 years ago today, on June 17, 1928, Amelia Earhart and the crew of “Friendship” took off from Trepassey, Newfoundland and Labrador, after having spent two weeks weather-bound there. Just over 24 hours later the plane landed in Wales, and Earhart became the first female passenger to cross the Atlantic.

Today Amelia arrived in Wales as the first female passenger to fly over the pond. For this reason I would like to take the opportunity to recommend her memories “20 hrs, 40 min” which is well written and shows her as a positive inspiring human being.

Nothing has changed since then. Today the cross reference to “aviation” still works. If not, reference to “space”. However, this is a showcase for the state of technology, fashion and advertising at one moment in the 1920s. The aircraft seems to be a “Tin Goose”. So it is more the end of 1920s or early 1930s.
