Pioneering female pilot who is probably most famous for the mysterious circumstances of her death; she disappeared in 1937 somewhere in the South Pacific, near the end of an attempted round-the-world flight. Vintage fountain pen signature on a yellow 5 x 4.5 album page. The collector’s notations indicate that the signature was obtained October 17, 1934. In fine condition, with toning, trivial soiling and collector’s notations in the margins, all of which could easily be matted out. In the autumn of 1934, Amelia announced that her next venture would be a trans-Pacific flight from Hawaii to California, then to Washington D.C. Ten pilots had already lost their lives attempting this crossing. R&R COA.
