Amelia Earhart

Amelia Earhart, an american aviator, was the first woman to fly across the Atlantic in 1928 and to fly it alone in 1932 and the first person to fly alone from Hawaii to California in 1935. In 1937 she and Frederick J. Noonan set out to fly around the world, but they disappeared mysteriously between New Guinea and Howland Island. In 1992 a search party reported finding remnants of Earhart's plane on Nikumaroro, formerly Gardner Island, Kiribati, but their claims were disputed by people who worked on Earhart's plane.
