Amelia Earhart was the first female aviator to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean. She was born in Kansas in 1897 and showed an early interest in aviation despite societal expectations for women at the time. Earhart set many firsts for female pilots including being the first woman to fly solo across the United States and first person to fly solo from Hawaii to California. In 1937, she embarked on a quest to become the first woman to circumnavigate the globe but disappeared over the Pacific Ocean, making her one of aviation's greatest mysteries.
