Amelia Earhart
(1897-1939)
"The most difficult thing is the decision to act, the rest is merely tenacity."

Amelia Earhart took her first flying lesson in 1921 and soon set records for women. In 1928 she flew across the Atlantic as a passenger, and in 1932 she did it alone, becoming the first woman to fly solo across it. She became famous around the world.

In 1937 she tried to fly around the globe with navigator Fred Noonan. Their plane disappeared over the Pacific Ocean near tiny Howland Island, and nobody has ever been sure what happened.
