#Onthisday in 1932, Amelia Earhart departed from Harbour Grace, Newfoundland, in a single-engine Lockheed Vega 5B. After 15 hours and 2,026 miles, she landed near Londonderry, Northern Ireland. She left five years to the date after Charles Lindbergh’s flight. Not only was she the first woman to successfully fly across the Atlantic and she was the first person after Charles Lindbergh to successfully complete the trip solo.
