Woman aviator Amelia Earhart lands in Ireland solo flight
Amelia Earhart, now Mrs G. P. Putnam, completes the first solo Atlantic crossing by a woman. She began toward Paris but diverted to Culmore near Londonderry due to motor trouble. She flew from Harbor Grace to Culmore in 14 hours 54 minutes, landing safely without injury. This second crossing, faster than Ruth Nichols, drew congratulatory messages from President Hoover and Prime Minister MacDonald. Earhart then continued to London in a borrowed plane, receiving a hero’s welcome.
