Amelia Mary Earhart was born in Atchison, Kansas, on July 24, 1897.
She defied traditional gender roles from a young age: she took an auto repair course, briefly attended Columbia University in New York City, and played basketball.
She was an American aviator that changed aviation history with an extraordinary achievement by being the first woman pilot to fly across the Atlantic ocean.
Charles Lindbergh’s successful solo flight across the Atlantic in 1927 inspired Earhart to become the first woman to fly alone across the Atlantic Ocean; she was also the second person in history to do it.
When Amelia was eleven years old, in 1908, she saw the Wright Brothers’ first airplane at the Iowa State Fair.
On December 28, 1920, pilot Frank Hawks gave Amelia her first ride in an airplane, and since then, she knew she had to fly.
Amelia’s first plane was a bright yellow Kinner Airster that she called “The Canary.”
She decided to fly around the world in 1937 with navigator Fred Noonan; however, the last time they had radio contact was on a tiny island near New Guinea, and they probably disappeared near Howland Island, and they were never heard from after.
President Roosevelt authorized a massive two-week search for the pair, but they were declared lost at sea, making this trip her last flight.
