As a 10 year-old, having no interest in airplanes or flying whatsoever, a 10 minute plane ride changed her life and perspective on flying forever. Pilot Frank Hawks gave Amelia Earhart this ride, on December 28, 1920. Amelia Earhart is one of the most known pilots today.

As interesting as these disappearances are, her life is just as interesting. Amelia Earhart was an independent woman. After never being able to really rely on her parents and having to raise her sister on her own she never counted on anyone but herself. She always wanted to help people and show the world that men are not the only ones that can make a change in history. In Amelia Earhart’s own words "I want to do it because I want to do it. Women must try to do things as men have tried. When they fail, their failure must be but a challenge to others." If woman strive to do anything, they should strive to be an example of Amelia. (call to action, quote, emotional statement)

    The 1920s were a time of daring aviation firsts. Of these, the most famous is Charles Lindbergh’s crossing of the Atlantic Ocean in the airplane called the Spirit of St. Louis. This flight was the first solo non-stop crossing of the Atlantic ocean. Lindbergh took off on May 20 from Garden City, New York and landed in Paris, France on May 21, 1927. To achieve this, Ryan Airlines designed a custom plane for Lindbergh. They built the plane with durability and large fuel reserves in mind. Lindbergh scrapped anything he viewed as unnecessary weight. Because of this, the plane lacks a radio and front window. For take offs and landings, Lindbergh used a periscope for a frontal view. After barely clearing some telephone wires during takeoff from Roosevelt Airport in Long Island, New York, Lindbergh flew the 3,600 miles to Le Bourget Field in Paris.…

    Amelia Earhart had the courage and independence to do anything she set her mind to. She is well known around the world for her many aeronautical accomplishments. Her bravery and tenacity are legendary. Her attempt to fly around the world is regarded as one of the greatest mysteries in aviation history. Her flight around the world is legendary because of her unexpected and still undetermined disappearance. Amelia broke the stereo type boundaries and let the world know that she wasn’t afraid to be the best female aviator of her time. Her unexpected last flight was her attempt to fly around the world in 1937. Along the journey, Amelia and her partner Fred Noonan made sure to stop to have the Electra checked, refueled, and to tell everyone that they were safe (Candace Fleming 102). On July 2, Amelia and her partner left Lae, New Guinea, and the Electra apparently had 1,000 gallons of fuel. At 8:00 GMT, Amelia made her last radio contact with Lae (Pop Culture Universe). They had short communications with the Itasca, which received the last transmission saying that gas was low. There are many conspiracies to how she disappeared, but the most popular are that she landed on Gardner Island, crashed into the sea, or fell victim to the Japanese during the time of war.…

    Amelia Earhart was declared legally dead on January 5, 1939, after the most expensive air and sea search in American history. The first search for Amelia Earhart started on July 2, 1937, and was lead by the U.S Navy and Coast Guard. An additional search funded by George Putnam, Amelia Earhart's husband of six years, was also unsuccessful (“What Happened”). At the time of Amelia’s disappearance, she was one of the world's most famous female aviators. As a result of this fame, expectations were high that Amelia would be rescued. Several weeks of newspapers led the public to believe there was new evidence, later found inconclusive, resulting in disappointment. Many people deduced that Amelia and Fred ran out of fuel a crashed into the Pacific…

    The movie, Amelia, is historically accurate in depicting what the life of Amelia Earheart, a woman who represented change in traditional female roles through the Roaring Twenties and early thirties, would have been like. The movie elaborated on the many inventions that were new or more popular at the time such as the radio, airplane, and the automobile.

    On June 16th 1927, in the ornate surroundings of his own Breevort Hotel, Raymond Orteig handed Charles Augustus Lindberg a specially designed check for $25,000 – his prize for completing the first non-stop New York to Paris flight. For Lindberg, the ceremony marked the climax of a month of international public frenzy surrounding the successful “hop” (the word he along with other aviators used for all travel by air). A cordon of 250 police officers had escorted him through the cheering crowds on Central Avenue as he walked to the Hotel. For Orteig the gift capped a year of efforts to hit a mark he first set in May 1919, “as a stimulus to the courageous…
