AMELIA EARHART

BIOGRAPHY

Amelia Earhart was born on July 24, 1897 in Atchison, Kansas (U.S.A). She was declared dead on January 5, 1939. She was a pilot.

She studied in Chicago and she was the first woman to fly a plane by “HERSE F” accross the Atlantic Ocean. She died on January 5, 1939 over the South Pacific Ocean, while trying to fly around the world.

EARHART was American, her father was a lawyer and her mother was a medicine doctor.

She wrote some books, most of them were about her flights.

Some people believe that she was a spy for the US Government and was captured by the Japanese on Gardner Island. The most plausible is what many researches prove, which is that the “Electra” ran out of fuel.

About her life, there is a range of documentaries .

It has been surmised that “Earhart” might have survived on Nikumaroro.

I admire her because she was a brave woman and a great pilot.
