Description:
American aviator, one of the world's most celebrated, who was the first woman to fly alone over the Atlantic Ocean. In January 1935 she made a solo flight from Hawaii to California, a longer distance than that from the United States to Europe. Earhart was the first person to fly that hazardous route successfully; all previous attempts had ended in disaster. She set out in 1937 to fly around the world, with Fred Noonan as her navigator, in a twin-engine Lockheed Electra. After completing more than two-thirds of the distance, her plane vanished in the central Pacific near the International Date Line.
Amelia Mary Earhart. Born July 24, 1897, Atchison, Kansas, U.S. Died July 2, 1937, near Howland Island, central Pacific Ocean.
