    Amelia Earhart was the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean in 1932 and attempted to fly around the world in 1937 but disappeared over the central Pacific Ocean on the last leg of her journey. She was born in Kansas in 1897 and gained her pilot's license in 1923, just a few years after taking her first flying lesson in 1921. Her pioneering flights broke barriers for women in aviation.
