One gelatin silver print or original vintage photographic reproduction from the archives of the Star Tribune depicting Amelia Earhart in a heartbreaking bid farewell to her husband George Putnam, capturing their last moment together immediately before her takeoff in what would be known as her tragic last flight. This mission was Earhart’s second attempt at a solo world flight which ended in her disappearance and since no theory has ultimately been proven true, her disappearance remains one of the most popular mysteries of American history. Amelia Earhart was an American aviation pioneer, the first female aviator to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean, and an early aviator who promoted commercial air travel. Earhart's legacy stands as a member of the National Women's Hall of Fame and one of the most inspirational American figures, she is an aviation icon.
