EDITORS COMMENTS
Amelia Earhart, the intrepid aviator, is seen here in this historic photograph taken in Burry Port, Wales, in 1928. Accompanied by her pilots Wilmer Stultz (right) and Louis Gordon (left), Amelia is beaming with pride and exhaustion after completing a groundbreaking non-stop transatlantic flight from Newfoundland on June 17, 1928. The trio had set out on their daring journey in a small Lockheed Vega aircraft, braving stormy weather and long hours in the cockpit to make history. This moment marks the successful completion of their 15-hour journey, covering a distance of over 2,000 miles (3,200 kilometers). Amelia's achievement shattered gender stereotypes and paved the way for future female pilots, making her a trailblazer in aviation history. The image captures the excitement and exhilaration of their triumphant arrival, with the three pioneers standing proudly in front of their plane, surrounded by a crowd of curious onlookers.
