Stabilized version of the "1935 - Amelia Earhart Arrives in Indianapolis via Train" video posted on the 1930VintageHomeMovie channel. I used Sony Vegas Movie Studio HD Platinum 10.0 with the "General Footage, fast analysis" Stabilize Media option selected. I think the results are pretty impressive.
This 16mm home movie footage had not been viewed for approximately sixty years before I found it in a long forgotten shipping carton in Sept. 2009 that was postmarked Oct. 1940.
Harvey S. Firestone, some of his family members, and others are seen awaiting Amelia Earhart's arrival at Indianapolis via train in September 1935. Amelia arrives, poses for newsreel reporters along with husband George Putnam. She and Harvey chat for awhile before departing together possibly for Purdue University where she was to begin her new duties as a visiting professor.
On May 30, 1937, Amelia had lunch with Mr. & Mrs. Firestone and rested at his Palm Beach home before leaving the next morning on her final round the world attempt.
