The F277-4 series of Heinz Aviators is a wonderful set of famous aviators of the 1950’s. The set includes possibly the most famous aviator, Charles Lindbergh as the #1 card. Other famous aviators include WWI flying ace “Eddie” Rickenbacker, “Jimmie” Dolittle and three different cards of female aviators—Louise Thaden, Ruth Nichols and Phoebe Omlie. At some point, five cards were pulled from production, creating five scarce variations in the set. Amelia Earhart #2, Laura Ingalls #5, Howard Hughes #7, Edwin Musick #8 and Frank Hawks #9 are all very difficult to locate and sell for significant premiums to the regular cards in the set.
This lot contains a single card of #2 Laura Ingalls that has been graded PSA2 Good. The Ingalls is one of the tough five variations that were pulled and corrected.
