LOCKHEED Electra 10A and 10C

Posted on April 13, 2008 by Stephen

Amelia Earhart was flying a Lockheed Electra 10E when she disappeared over the Pacific in 1937.

One of the first designs of the Lockheed company, the Electra was one of the first all-metal, passenger planes; its many innovations contributed to the design of the P-38 fighter.

From Aero Digest, April, 1935:

Lockheed Aircraft Corporation, Burbank, California

She was also in “over” her head. She calculated the fuel load incorrectly, damaged her reception antenna on her final takeoff, and she and Noonan lacked the navigational skills necessary for a trip around the world. Yes, she was amazing, but she was a little too given to showmanship.
