Amelia Earhart 1897–1939

Notes

Amelia Mary Earhart was born on 24 July 1897. She disappeared on 2 July 1937 and was declared dead on 5 January 1939. The years on this Echo are 1897–1939, matching that declared death, and Amelia Mary Earhart is the alias already stored. The summary names an aviator who was the first woman to fly solo nonstop across the Atlantic. The public record dates that solo nonstop flight to 1932 and records a Distinguished Flying Cross for it. An earlier 1928 crossing was not the solo flight the summary names, so this note keeps the two years distinct. She also wrote about flying and helped found the Ninety-Nines, an organization for women pilots. This note does not add a field, a house, or the waters where the 1937 flight was lost. The Atlantic is named because the summary already names it. This research sheet is the page reached by ameliaearhart.si.
