Amelia Earhart was one of America's first female pilots. Amelia Earhart was born in 1897 in Kansas.
Amelia Earhart first became interested in flying while living in Toronto. After a year she went to California to visit her parents. During that trip, she took her first ride in an airplane. When the plane landed, Amelia Earhart had a new goal in life: she would learn to fly.
In 1932, she became the first woman to fly across the Atlantic Ocean alone. In the next few years, Amelia Earhart set more records and received more honors. She was the first to fly from Hawaii to California, alone. She was the first to fly from Mexico City to New York City, without stopping.
Amelia decided to use this plane to fly around the world. June 1st, 1937, the plane left Miami, Florida. Three hours after leaving New Guinea, Amelia sent back a radio message. Later, the messages began to warn of trouble. Fuel was getting low. A message on the morning of July 2nd was incomplete. Then there was silence. American Navy ships and planes searched the area for fifteen days. They found nothing. Amelia Earhart and Fred Noonan were officially declared "lost at sea."
