Description
Amelia Earhart puts on her parachute with the help of her husband, George Putnam in front of her Beechnut Autogyro. The coveralls that Earhart wears in this picture were donated to the Ninety-Nines by Lauretta Schimmoler, who had received them from Margot DeCarie, Amelia's personal secretary. They were later donated to International Women's Air and Space Museum in 1971. Earhart had designed the coveralls herself.
