LotNo. Symbol Cat No. Lot Description
1061 CVR   image1931 First Woman's Solo Trans-Atlantic Attempt, Crashed in New Brunswick, an airmail envelope with Ruth Nichols (New York) return address on backflap, addressed to Ben Krinsky in New York, with flight cachet at top left reading "First Woman's Solo Transatlantic Attempt / New York to Paris / Lockheed Vega Monoplane / "Akita" NR 496 M / Ruth R. Nichols" alongside a handstamp reading "Plane Crashed At / St. Johns, New Brunswick / June 22, 1931" with pilot's signature below. The (new) American Airmail Catalogue describes this crash in part "she planned to refuel in St John, but on arriving at dusk, she realized that the landing strip was too short for her single-engine Lockheed Vega aircraft. She crash landed the plane, damaging the landing gear and fuselage, and suffered a broken vertebrae." Very fine and very scarce, ideal for any first flight, or crash cover collector.
