Five years to the day after the New York-Paris solo, Amelia Earhart left Harbour Grace, Newfoundland, in a Lockheed Vega and put it down about fifteen hours later in a farmer's field at Culmore, near Londonderry. The National Air and Space Museum calls that the first solo Atlantic crossing by a woman, and the second by anyone. The museum is careful with the hour, so this garment is too: about fifteen hours, not a tighter number we do not have. Her name is in the sentences. The chest is the duration and the date. Long sleeve, forty-eight dollars.
