Earhart became the first woman, and the only person after Charles Lindbergh, to fly continuously and alone across the Atlantic on May 20–21, 1932. She took off from Harbor Grace, Newfoundland, Canada, in this crimson Lockheed Vega and arrived 15 hours later in Londonderry, Northern Ireland. The achievement made Earhart an immediate international star and demonstrated her bravery and ability as a pilot. Later that year, Earhart set another record with the Vega. On August 24–25, she flew solo, nonstop across the United States, from Los Angeles to Newark, New Jersey, in roughly 19 hours.
