Amelia Earhart remains one of aviation's most enduring legends. Born on July 24, 1897, in Atchison, Kansas, Earhart's adventurous spirit was evident from a young age. Her unconventional upbringing, nurtured by her forward-thinking mother, Amy, set the stage for her groundbreaking achievements in aviation.

Amelia's fascination with flying began in earnest in the early 1920s. After a pivotal 10-minute flight with pilot Frank Hawks in December 1920, she was captivated by the experience and resolved to pursue flying seriously.

Earhart's prominence grew with her historic flights across the Atlantic. In 1928, she made headlines as the first female passenger to fly across the Atlantic, despite not being at the controls.
