Amelia Earhart was born in Kansas in 1897 Thirty one years later, she received a phone call that would change her life She was invited to become the first woman passenger to cross the Atlantic Ocean in a plane The flight took more than 20 hours – about three times longer than it routinely takes today to cross the Atlantic by plane Earhart was twelve years old before she ever saw an airplane, and she didn’t take her first flight until 1920 But she was so thrilled by her first experience in a plane that she quickly began to take flying lessons She wrote, “As soon as I left the ground, I knew I myself had to fly.”

communication and navigation instruments Perhaps it was to make room for additional fuel for the long
flight The pair made it to New Guinea in 21 days and then left for Howland Island, a tiny island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean The last communication from Earhart and Noonan was on July 2, 1937 with a nearby CoastGuardship.TheUnitedStatesNavyconducted a massive search for more than two weeks but no trace of the plane or its passengers was ever found Many people believe they got lost simply ran out of fuel and died

doctor, it was too late for the authorities to do anything aboutit
