On the thirtieth anniversary of Amelia Earhart's failed round-the-world flight, Ann Holtgren Pellegreno and a crew of three retraced the aviator's flight. Flying a Lockheed 10A Electra that was a sister ship to Earhart's Electra, the group successfully completed the 28,000-mile commemorative flight on July 7, 1967. These photographs of Pellegreno and the Lockheed (N79237) were taken in 1967, shortly after the flight, at an Antique Airplane Association fly-in at Ottumwa Industrial Airport.
