Great Speeches
In
Aviation History

We at the Aviation On-Line Network are working to preserve the recordings of some of the Great Speeches In Aviation History. We believe that there are generations of aviation enthusiasts worldwide that have never had the opportunity to hear the recordings of the events that made aviation history.

It is for your benefit that we present these recordings today,
so that they may never be lost in the future.

This page will be continually updated. Please check back with us.

Amelia Earhart
On the Future of Women in Flying
"The future of flying is filled with promise"
Location Unknown, February, 1931

"Opportunities for Women"
Location Unknown, 1935

We located these "rare" speeches presented by Amelia Earhart. Like so much of Amelia's life that was clouded in mystery, no one can be sure where these speeches were delivered or to whom. We won't attempt to do an autobiography on Amelia Earhart's life here, however, we do recommend that you take a look at the web page site at Worldflight that is covering Linda Finch's attempt to retrace Amelia's around the world flight. A lot of good historical information is presented.
