Amelia Putnam Sets New Women Transcontinental Record
Amelia Zarhert Putnam landed in Newark at 11:85 am EST to set a new women’s transcontinental light record, beating Ruth Nichols by almost ten hours. Nichols’ elapsed time across the coast was 29 hours 1 minute 43 seconds with a stop in Wichita. Putnam’s flight included stops in Columbus and Wichita with an elapsed time just over 18 hours before a fuel issue forced a landing. Putnam aimed to beat Frank Hawks’s 12 year old nonstop record of 11 hours 38 minutes 59 seconds, but fuel trouble at Columbus ended her pursuit for this flight.
