Her father was a railroad attorney, and the family moved around while Amelia was a child. She worked as a nurse’s aide at Spadina Military Hospital in Toronto, Canada, during World War I, and then enrolled as a premedical student at Columbia University in New York. However, her parents then insisted that she move to California where they were living. In California she started taking flying lessons in 1921. With the help of her sister Muriel and her mother, Amy Otis Earhart, she bought her first airplane, a second-hand Kinner Airster, in 1922. After her parents’ divorce, Amelia moved to Boston, Massachusetts, where in 1928 she was selected by her future husband, the publisher George Palmer Putnam, to be the first female passenger on a transatlantic flight.

  • American Airlines Stionson
    American Airlines Stinson Copyright by © Captain Carl Jordan <[email protected]> Feb 23, 1997 - Page 1 of 5 Printed here with permission Let me start out by saying that my dad learned to fly in 1927. He began to fly with the Army Air Corps Reserve in 1931. He started with American Airlines in 1935, and retired 33 years later in 1968. I learned to fly in 1949. Subsequently did a stint in the US Air Force during the Korean War. Wound-up being a 20-year-old all-weather, jet fighter interceptor pilot. I started with United Airlines (Capital) in 1956, flying co-pilot on the DC-3. I "officially" retired in 1993. (I say "officially" because the Age-60 thing hasn't run its full course yet. "Old" geezers like me are still hopeful that 65 or 70 will eventually be recognized as mandatory retirement age.) My daughter is a third-generation airline captain (type-rated in A-320 & B-737), and still has a long run ahead of her before bumping into the mandatory retirement age...whatever it might happen to be when she finally gets there. If any of my grand kids (seven of them...for now) decide to get into the airline game, they'll be fourth-generation. With regard to Stinsons and American Airlines, there are two interesting points. First, when my dad started with American in 1935, he flew Curtiss Condors and STINSON TRIMOTORS. Like the Curtiss Condor, the Stinson Trimotor was a fabric-covered bird, and wasn't covered with "corrugated tin" like the Ford Trimotor.

  • VP Vol 2 No 11 Nov 1974
    THE PRESIDENT'S PAGE By E. E. " Buck" Hilbert President, Antique-Classic Division (Photo by Ted Kaston) SHARING THE WEALTH A two day trip to Blakesburg/Ottumwa proved again that Antique and Classic airplane lovers are just that . .. lovers, not fighters. In the time I was there I heard some testy comments and dire suggestions, but they all seemed to evaporate in the presence of good camaraderie and aviation lore. The realization that the airplanes were the center of attraction and not at all part of the petty rivalries came late to some people, but it came. Talk about allegiance to this or that group soon dissolved and there was a constant stream of traffic between the two fields as people tried to see all they could. The welcome mat was out at both fields and the barriers that were in some minds soon tumbled. I left early - not by choice - but I'm sure the outcome was what I expected. The airplanes will win . .. in the end. There was just too much experience and airplane happiness to share. Most of the joy of air­ planes comes from sharing it with other interested people and the common goal of keeping them flying can't be ignored. HOW TO JOIN THE ANTIQUE-CLASSIC DIVISION Membership in the EAA Antique-Classic Division is open to all EAA members who have a special interest in the older aircraft that are a proud part of our aviation heritage. Membership in the Antique­ Classic Division is $10.00 per year wh ich entitles one to 12 issues of The Vin tage Airplane published monthly at EAA Headquarters.
