Notes: Earhart hired famed Hollywood stunt pilot Paul Mantz as a technical advisor to her 1932 trans-Atlantic flight. In preparation for her 1937 around-the-world flight Mantz was hired again to teach the aviatrix more about long-range aviation, multi-engine procedure and instrument flying. He accompanied her on the first leg of her first attempt at the flight in March 1937, which ended when Earhart crashed her Lockheed Electra on takeoff. When she tried again 4 months later, she and navigator Fred Noonan dissappeared. This photograph is illustrated in Don Dwiggins's biography of Mantz titled Hollywood Pilot. Items autographed by both pilots are quite uncommon.
