AMELIA EARHART

The first woman in the world to fly across the Atlantic Ocean, in 1928

Amelia Earhart, charming aviation pioneer, in 1928 was the first woman in the world to fly across the Atlantic Ocean, in 20 hours and 40 minutes.

Beautiful and brave, she spent her short life engaging extraordinary flights, among which the transatlantic solo flight in 1932, and in her commitment about female emancipation. She was missing in mistery circumstances in 1937, when she was only 40, during her attempt to the world flight.
