A newly overhauled gallery at Washington's National Air and Space Museum now includes more than 1,000 objects from the museum's archives, including a jacket Earhart designed for female aviators and Lindbergh's radio receiver, snow shoes and other emergency equipment he took on flights with his wife, Anne.
Other sections feature milestones from military aviation and pioneering black aviators, including the Tuskegee Airmen from World War II. A version of the exhibit on those who broke the color barrier in flight will travel to museums nationally next year.
