On this day in 1923, Amelia Earhart was the first woman to receive an airplane pilot's certificate from the National Aeronautic Association. This is her flight suit from our National Postal Museum.
Why is it in a postal museum? While Earhart wasn’t a licesnsed airmail pilot, she did transport mail as a way of fundraising for her flights. She carried and autographed special letters that were sold to stamp enthusiasts.
Leather, wool-lined suits like this one were critical for long-distance flights because early airplanes didn’t offer much protection from the elements, and it gets chilly 20,000 feet in the air.
