Amelia Earhart was a pioneering American aviator and the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean. Born in on July 24,1897 in Kansas, she became a symbol of courage and determination in a male-dominated field. Earhart set many flying records and was a passionate advocate for women in aviation. On July 2, 1937, during an attempt to fly around the world, she disappeared over the Pacific Ocean with her navigator, Fred Noonan. Despite extensive searches, they were never found, and her disappearance remains one of aviation’s greatest mysteries. She was declared dead on January 5, 1939. Earhart is remembered as a trailblazer and an American icon.
