Germany, 1936 Hindenburg First North America Flight (Michel 12), illustrated 12-page Zeppelin Transport Co. promotional pamphlet entitled "2½ Days to Europe", signed "Clara Adams, Cabin 19, Hindenburg", Very Fine.
Estimate $500 - 750

Clara Adams (1884-1971), a renowned "First Flighter", became fascinated with aviation when, in March of 1914 in Eustis, Fla., she flew on a Thomas flying boat piloted by Army Captain Walter E. Johnson. In 1924 she obtained a letter of introduction to Dr. Hugo Eckener from Field Marshal Paul von Hindenburg, a cousin of her maternal grandmother, thus beginning a life-long love of the Zeppelin. In addition to the inaugural North American flight of the Hindenburg, she was the first woman to fly across the Atlantic as a passenger on the 1928 return flight of the Graf Zeppelin. Among many record flights on which she was a passenger, Mrs. Adams also flew on the 1931 flight of the Do.-X from Rio de Janeiro to New York and on the first transpacific flight of the China Clipper in 1937.
