Amelia Earhart
Amelia Earhart’s remarkable
aviation career was tragically cut short when Earhart and her navigator
went missing over the Nukumanu
Islands. Before her disappearance,
Earhart’s name became a household one, in 1932, when she was the first
woman to make a solo-return transcontinental flight. Earhart flew her
Lockheed Vega from Harbor Grace, Newfoundland to Londonderry, Ireland, on
the fifth anniversary of Charles Lindbergh’s famous flight. In the
remaining years of her life, she went onto break numerous speed and
distance records.
