FIRST SOLO FLIGHT ACROSS THE PACIFIC

The mystery of Amelia Earhart's last flight


In the first flight of its kind, American aviatrix Amelia Earhart
departed Wheeler Field in Honolulu,
Hawaii, on a solo flight
to North America. Hawaiian commercial interests offered a
$10,000 award to whoever accomplished the flight first.

The next day, after traveling 2,400 miles in 18 hours, she
safely landed at Oakland Airport in Oakland,
California.
