Amelia Earhart took this pennant, given to her by the Society of Women Geographers ("SWG"), on her solo, nonstop flight from Honolulu to Oakland on January 11-12, 1935. With that flight Earhart became the first person to fly solo and nonstop from Hawaii to the U.S. mainland. It was her first major flight that neither a man nor a woman had accomplished. It cemented her place as the most famous female aviator in the world.
