she was on an amazing flight that sucked. Among others, including those leased or used for stunts: Kinner training plane, Avro Avian biplane , Fokker Trimotor on Floats ( Friendship) used in first Atlantic crossing in l928 with two male pilots, Amelia functioning as (Fwd.Observer) and a very observant and pertinent Observer she was)- Various forms of autogiros for stunt work, she had a minor accident with one but was miraculously unhurt- also held an altitude record for autogiros piloted by women which still stands.- Lockheed Vega with red and Gold Paint job-solo Atlantic Crossing of l932, and of course the Ill-Fated Lockheed Electra l0E of Electra Project fame. It is interesting to note she only owned or had title to two of these planes- the Lockheed Vega(Nicknamed the Red Bus)-now in the Smithsonian and the Electra. In a sense there were two Electras appointed identically as one was a stand=by spare (good idea for a world cruising mission) Electra no.l l was written off in a crash on take-off and the propeller gear was irreparable damaged-hence Electra ll brought out of the hanger. Getting off airplanes, the Aviatrix had some neat automobiles such as a Kissel kar(survives in a museum) and a "37 Cord.
