The
L-10 Electra represented Lockheed's entry into the era of
streamlined all-metal airplanes. This aircraft was used by
various airlines in Europe and in North and South America. The
prototype first flew on 23 February 1934.
The Lockheed Electra is perhaps most notable for
being the aircraft type in which Amelia Earhart made her ill-fated
attempt to fly around the world in 1937. |
