• STS-63 Lt. Col. Eileen Collins carried Amelia Earhart?s scarf, which made headlines.

• STS-78 LTC Susan Helms, Payload Commander, carried Women?s Auxiliary Ferrying Squadron (WAFS) wings as a special honor to the 25 original WAFS who ferried military aircraft during WWII.

• STS-91 Commander Charles Precourt carried the replicated Early Bird banner and used it as a photographic backdrop in space when STS-91 paid tribute to George Grundy, last of the pre-WWI Early Birds, together with the 598 men and women Early Birds who soloed prior to WWI.

• STS-84 Lt. Col. Eileen Collins carried 2 volumes from a miniature boxed set of Shakespeare that Amelia Earhart and her sister, Muriel Earhart Morrissey, read as children.
