| Description: | Shaky light in contrast and imagery Amelia Earhart Putnam flies from Honolulu to the Mainland in eighteen hours, fearlessly pushing her way through dense fog on the 2,400-mile course over the Pacific. She makes a difficult landing with success. A reporter ask Amelia which water does she prefer flying over, the Atlantic or the Pacific? Amelia Earhart's reply "Well it was very interesting to me to fly in southern waters rather than the north. On the Atlantic flight, I had ice conditions and general storms. On this flight really no bad weather at all, except a few little rains. Moon and Stars most of the night. Of course in both flights, I was very glad to see land." | |
