Amelia didn't like wearing goggles while flying

Aviator Glasses worn by Amelia Earhart, the nation's favorite aviatrix, reportedly preferred to dress in a suit or dress and a hat rather than the customary "high-bred aviation togs." At the end of the runway, she would always don her goggles and remove them as soon as she touched down. Aviators didn't scrimp on their goggles since in the air, things like distance perception, depth perception, glare reduction, and haze suppression may mean life or death. These dark green-tinted goggles have a wool lining. Over the years, a lot of the wool has fallen off, yet they still display astoundingly. A metal clasp in the back of the goggles secures them. On one of her abroad visits, Earhart gave these to Mariette Lydis along with her flyers jacket and a flying cap. These artifacts, which Lydis would cherish throughout her life, were also a part of her estate and will when she passed away.

What was seen via goggles like these during her transatlantic voyage, first solo flight, and attempts to break height records? Few of us have the ability to imagine seeing the world through her eyes, but in this case we have a slim chance to do just that. Many individuals will be fascinated and curious by this lot. Earhart, a tomboy who was raised in the country, won the nation's admiration for her perseverance and bravery.
