Amelia Earhart's Lockheed-Electra airplane at Oakland Airport
Description:
Copy image. "Earhart-Noonan. Whether Ameilia Earhart Putnam will take off for Honolulu on the first leg of her round-the-world-flight from the Oakland Airport or from the San Francisco Municipal Airport at Mills Field is still unknown. Rough surface of the Oakland field is held to be the stumbling block with impending danger to the take-off of her heavily loaded plane with its tremendous capacity of gas. Photo shows puddles in the Oakland Field outside the Navy hangar. Before the hangar is A. E. Putnam's Lockheed-Electra which will be used in the projected flight. Wide World Photo 3/14/37."
