Original 1932 Boston Globe Newspaper – Amelia Earhart Solo Atlantic Flight – Historic Front Page

Celebrate one of aviation’s greatest milestones with this original May 22, 1932 edition of The Boston Sunday Globe, featuring the dramatic front-page headline:

“STORM, FOG AND FLAMES THREATENED AMELIA ON 15-HOUR FLIGHT OVER OCEAN TO IRELAND”

This authentic vintage newspaper captures the historic moment Amelia Earhart became the first woman to fly solo nonstop across the Atlantic Ocean, completing the dangerous 15-hour flight from Newfoundland to Ireland on May 21, 1932 — exactly five years after Lindbergh’s flight. The paper includes multiple photos of Earhart throughout her life and career, along with detailed reports of the peril she faced during the crossing.

Other period headlines include:

• “Snyder on Rampage at Murder Trial”

• “Tax Fight Threatens Session Until July”

• “Rum-Runner Sought as Kidnaping ‘Key’”

A must-have for collectors of aviation history, women's history, and 20th-century ephemera.
