Endorsed by Earhart
How Amelia Financed her Flying
Following her historic flight aboard the Friendship in 1928, Earhart became the most sought after celebrity to endorse products. Her photogenic image and testimonials enhanced sales from automobiles to magazines to chocolate bars. In return, whether quid pro quo or cash payments, Amelia was able to finance her flying. Her book is a project which documents the many endorsements she made before her untimely death in 1937. The book also reflects the creativity of manufacturers during the 1930s to remain competitive – whether they build cars or published magazines.
