Who On Earth Was Amelia Earhart? The First Woman To Fly Across Atlantic and Disappeared? A Look Into Her Life One spring day in 1932, a red Lockheed Vega took off from Harbour Grace, Newfoundland, rising into the mist and fog that blankets the Atlantic. At the controls was a slim woman in a leather jacket, a silk scarf arranged around her neck, firm hands on the yoke. She wasn’t just flying a plane — she was flying in the face of incredible odds, against what was expected of a woman in her time and quite possibly against something in herself. Her name was Amelia Earhart, and by the time the sun had set the next evening, she had become the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean. That part, most people know. But what comes next is less clear. Five years later, in the summer of 1937, during Amelia’s attempt to fly around the world with her navigator Fred Noonan, her voice came in one last time over the radio, static cutting in and out before it was gone. She had disappeared over the Pacific. No confirmed wreckage. No black box. No final word. Just silence, and questions. Grab a copy of this book now!
