Historical Highlight (June 2022)

(Sapulpa Herald, June 15, 1931) Sapulpans at the Sapulpa Country Club heard a strange sound around 5 o’clock that Saturday evening.

“Golf playing was suddenly halted when a strange whirling mechanism spun thru the air overhead. The golfers stopped their games and stared at the [strange] sounding vehicle of the air.”

Mrs. Amelia Earhart Putnam flew over the town of Sapulpa.

The golfers “learned later that the thing they had seen was the autogyro, which was flown to Oklahoma City, for the famous woman flier.”
