102   imageUnited States: Autographs, Manuscripts, & Ephemera . Amelia Earhart, typed letter signed,. in black ink, on her letterhead, to Miss Hyacinthe Lambart at the Canadian Flying Club Association. In the letter, Earhart discusses the importance of encouraging female aviators, writing: "I believe that it is advantageous to organize informally even a few women pilots rather than wait until a larger number have their licenses. Very often the joining together has the effect of increasing interest generally.  I have just returned from several more weeks of lecturing and have not yet had the opportunity of reading Canadian Aviation yet. I shall try to save a minute or two in the next few days to catch up on my aeronautical literature." An important Earhart letter, with further significance to Canadian aviation history. Amelia Earhart was an American aviation pioneer, the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean, and one of the driving forces behind the creation of The Ninety-Nines, an international organization for the advancement of women pilots. Hyacinthe Lambart was one of Canada's first female pilots, who in 1932 flew her Gipsy Moth aircraft to Quebec City, where she landed on the Plains of Abraham. During the Second World War, she served as secretary of the Canadian Flying Club Association. (Image1)

Thousands gathered to catch a glimpse of the heroic pilot, while five hundred police and militia waited at the airfield. Tragedy struck when, upon descent, one of Lindbergh’s escort pilots, Lt. Thad Johnson, was killed after his plane struck the propeller of another escort. A funeral was held for Lt. Johnson the following day - the same day as the Rideau Club celebrations for Lindbergh. Lt. Johnson’s casket was conveyed down Wellington Street to the Ottawa train station, for the final journey to Michigan. Lindbergh played a role in the ceremony, flying the Spirit of St Louis in such proximity to the procession as to allow him to drop a bouquet of flowers onto the passing cortege.. . .
