Owner's Description

Atchison, KS The City NB Ch. # 11405 PMG 25 $5 1929 Ty 1 SN E000897A pp K26/175 GPO Plate. A moderately circulated small size example from this Kansas City bank. John W. Hartman, Cashier and S.J. Blythe, President. Famed aviator Amelia Earhart was born in Atchison, KS. Five years to the day that American aviator Charles Lindbergh became the first pilot to accomplish a solo, nonstop flight across the Atlantic Ocean, female aviator Amelia Earhart becomes the first Pilot to repeat the feat, landing her plane in Ireland after flying across the North Atlantic. This was Earhart's second time to cross the Atlantic. In 1928, as a member of a three-person crew, she crossed the Atlantic in an aircraft while functioning as the person to keep the plane's log. For her solo transatlantic crossing in 1932, she was awarded a Distinguished Flying Cross by the U.S. Congress.
