On This Day in Aviation History: May 29, 1951

On this day in 1951, Capt. Charles Blair completed the first solo flight across the North Pole in a single-engine aircraft, flying his North American F-51 Mustang, Excalibur III, from Norway to Alaska in just over 10 hours.

It was a remarkable achievement in navigation, endurance, and aircraft performance, and a reminder of the innovation and determination that continue to move aviation forward.

Amelia Earhart crossed the Atlantic alone.

Flying her red Lockheed Vega from Newfoundland to Northern Ireland, Earhart became the first woman to fly solo nonstop across the Atlantic — and only the second person to complete the solo nonstop crossing after Charles Lindbergh.

The flight was anything but smooth. She faced poor weather, ice, mechanical issues, and limited visibility over the North Atlantic. But after roughly 15 hours in the air, she landed in a field near Londonderry, Northern Ireland, securing her place in aviation history.
