    Description

    Vintage 5.5x3.25 notecard signed and inscribed in blue ballpoint ink by Ellen Church. A few stains, otherwise, in good condition.
    (1904-1965) Ellen Church was the first female flight attendant. A trained nurse and pilot, Church wanted to pilot commercial aircraft, but those jobs were not open to women. Still wanting to fly, Church successfully worked to convince Boeing Air Transport that using nurses as flight-stewardesses would increase safety and help convince passengers that flying was safe. Their first flight took off on May 15, 1930.
    Comes with a full Letter of Authenticity from Todd Mueller Authentics if the lot sells for or more.
