Amelia ca... Reason For Atlantic Hop

(Associated Press)

LONDON. May kit-The real reason Mrs. Amelia Earhart Putnam ﬂew the Atlantic alone was to stop all those nasty " things men say about women aeroplane pilots and women automobile drivers. She herself revealed this today while en- ioying to the utmost an en- thusiastic reception accorded by London to her as the first woman ever to make a. solo ﬂight across the Atlantic. -

“When there is a traffic jam on Fifth Avenue, men always 001111110111» ‘Oh, it's a woman driving!" Mrs. Putnam said.

“And l have gone up in the air with a mechanic who didn't know the controls from an ai- tlmeter, and when I came down I heard people say he did most of the ﬂying.

"So I determined to show them. Outside oi demonstra- ting that a woman can fly the Atlantic alone, I don't see that l have added anything to the science oi aviation or anything else.“
