Amelia Earhart
1897 – 1937
Amelia Earhart was a pioneering pilot who became the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean. She set many flying records and co-founded The Ninety-Nines, an organization for female pilots still active today, serving as its first president and inspiring women everywhere to chase careers once thought impossible for them. In 1937 she disappeared while trying to fly around the world, and her fate remains one of history's great mysteries.
