American aviatrix (1901–1967) who set a number of notable aviation records in the 1930s. Accused of being a spy under the provisions of the 1938 Foreign Agents Registration Act, she was jailed for more than a year in 1942–43. Despite the support of such notables as Eddie Rickenbacker, Ingalls was never pardoned.

Sept 12, 1935; Distance: 2543 - Non-stop; Plane: Orion NR14222.” Envelope also bears a September 16, New York, postmark.
