Amelia Earhart

Born in 1897 in Kansas, Amelia Earhart was an American aviator and aviation pioneer who became the first woman to fly solo nonstop across the Atlantic (1932), earning the Distinguished Flying Cross. She co-founded the Ninety-Nines organization for female pilots, promoted commercial aviation through bestselling books, and served as a career counselor for women at Purdue University. In 1937, she disappeared over the Pacific while attempting to become the first woman to circumnavigate the globe, creating the twentieth century's greatest aviation mystery.
