There are many more interesting facts that make up Amelia’s life. She made many flight achievements as one of the first woman to fly but also as a pilot in general. Here is everything you need to know about the wonderful Amelia Earhart

Interestingly, the young girl was not always interested in flying. She described the first plane she ever saw as “a thing of rusty wire and wood” that was not all that interesting to her. 12 years later, her mind was changed.

Her first aircraft was a secondhand Kinner Airster that she proudly named the “Canary”. This was the plane that would help her break tons of flying records and would contribute to her legacy of being one of the most famous pilots of all time.

Three years after her first time in an airplane she received her pilot’s license. In 1923, she was only the 16th woman to ever receive a pilot’s license. Little did she know, this would have a huge impact on female fliers everywhere.

She later became the second person to ever fly across the Atlantic alone. Her career was littered with many impressive feats like these. She just so happened to be the first person to fly solo across the Pacific as well.

In 1932, she landed in Ireland and a farmer asked her if she’d flown very far. She told him she had come all the way from America and had a copy of a newspaper to prove it. She took pride in her accomplishments, as she should.

She was given lucrative endorsements and was even invited to the White House to meet with the President. While all this was well and good, Amelia had her sights set even higher and she knew she wouldn’t be satisfied until she flew all the way around the globe.

She didn’t just want to be the “first woman” to break records, she wanted to be the best pilot, despite her gender. And her career is crawling with so many of these achievements. They are a testament to her hard work and dedication.

Tragically, they never found Amelia and what happened to cause the crash is a mystery that has yet to be solved. We remember her for her great courage and strength.

She would describe her adventures with her navigator in a positive light and nothing seemed to be going wrong for this entire leg of the trip. She even stated, “We were thankful we had been able to make our way successfully over those remote regions of sea and jungle” in reference to New Guinea.

A month into the journey something went terribly wrong. She only had about 7,000 miles between her and her goal. But she seemingly vanished before she ever made it to her destination.

She said, “I want to do it because I want to do it. Women must try to do things as men have tried. When they fail, their failure must be but a challenge to others”. This was the spirit that has made her a prolific name in history.

Some conspiracy theorists believe that Amelia and Fred actually made it back alive to the United States and lived out the rest of their lives under different names. No one can really give an explanation as to why these would be the case.

Some people have tried to decipher some of Amelia’s final radio calls to find evidence to support that she might have landed in this location. One message said, “Will have to get out of here” and another said, “We can’t stay here long”. These radio messages have added fuel to the conspiracy theory fire.

250,000 square miles of the Pacific were searched. Amelia’s husband, George Putnam also paid for a search of his own. Unfortunately, neither search revealed anything about Amelia or the flight. They never discover her or the reason the plane went down.
