Amelia Earhart was the first woman aviator to

cross the Atlantic Ocean. She also held several aviation
records.She was a aviator legends who also tried and
found an organization so other women could be aviators.
Around that time other woman could not be a pilot so
later on she found and made an organization so that
other women could show their competence.

Amelia was born in July 24th, 1897. In Amelia’s early

life, Amelia’s father was a railroad lawyer and her mother
came from the Annas family. While she was a child, she
displayed an adventurous and independent nature in
which she was later known for. After the death of her
grandparents , her family struggled financially because of
her fathers alcoholism. Her family moved often, and she
completed high school in Chicago around 1916. After her
mother received her inheritance, she was able to go to
the Ogontz school in Rydal, in Pennsylvania.

During a visit to her sister in Canada, Amelia

developed an interest in caring for soldiers wounded in
world war 1. Around 1918 she left Junior college to
\

become a nurse’s aide in Toronto. After the war, she

entered the premed program at Columbia university in
New York City but left in 1920 after her parents insisted
for her to live with them in California. There she went on
her first airplane ride in 1920, an experience that left her
to take pilot lessons. In 1921 she bought her first plane, a
kinder airster, and two years later she earned her pilot’s
license.

Determined to justify the renown that her 1928

crossing had brought her, she crossed the Atlantic Ocean
alone on may 20 through the 21st in 1932. Her flight from
Harbour grace, Newfoundland, Londonderry, and
Northern Ireland was completed in a record time of 14
hours and 56 minutes despite the number of problems
she had during the flight. She experienced mechanical
difficulties and bad weather and was unable to land in
her scheduled destination of Paris. Afterwards she
published a book called “ The fun of it” in 1932, in which
she wrote about her life and interested in flying. She also
took a lot of flights across the United States.
