This is a resin-cast figure or figure set for use with military dioramas or individual display.
Amelia Earhart was a female aviator who set the high-altitude record in an autogyro in 1931, and made a transatlantic flight in 1932. In May 1937, she attempted a round-the-world flight over the equator, but around July 2, she sent her final message from over the North Pacific Ocean, saying “Fly over the North-South line.” U.S. and Japanese relations were beginning to deteriorate at the time, but their two navies worked together to locate her; unfortunately, neither she nor her beloved Lockheed Electra 10E were ever located. During her lifetime, Earhart, who was a national figure in her own right, was passionate about empowering women through her own experiences. For this reason, a scholarship system for women studying aviation-related science and technology named after her continues to this day.
Life Miniatures brings us a 1/10-scale resin bust of Amelia Earhart, painstakingly recreating her flight cap and leather flight jacket from live-action recordings of the time. She gazes up at the sky with a smile on her face — as she was seen so many times during her lifetime. Unpainted and unassembled. Order this aviation icon for your own collection today!
