Earhart made TWO Transatlantic flights . the first one, where she was essentially a forward observer, not an active pilot, but nonetheless an (Aviatrix) occured in June of l928, this involved a Fokker Tri-motor on Floats called the (Friendship) it should be noted she did not own this craft. The second one, a solo flight in l932 and the first feminine non-stop Atlantic flight- there had been several multi-hopped, involved a Lockheed Vega in Red and gold trim- oddly Russian orthodox colors! this plane ( it was a production model) survives in the National air and space museum at the Smithsonian. This plane was code-named the Little red Bus or Red Bus for short. The only planes she actually owned were this one and the ill-fated Electra. actually there were two electras as one was a working spare- and was severely damaged in a crash taking off from Hawaii, like racing teams, they have backup vehicles. so it goes.
