Amelia Earhart's first plane, the Lockheed Vega 5B, affectionately nicknamed "Canary," was notable for its bright yellow color, which earned it the nickname. This aircraft played a crucial role in her early aviation career, allowing her to set several records, including becoming the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean in 1932. The Canary was well-regarded for its speed and reliability, reflecting Earhart's pioneering spirit and determination in the male-dominated field of aviation. Unfortunately, the plane no longer exists, as it was lost after her disappearance in 1937 during a flight around the world.
