Amelia Mary Earhart (1897-1937) was the first woman to fly (as a passenger) across the Atlantic (1928). On May 29-21, 1932, she made a solo transatlantic flight (Harbor Grace, Newfoundland to Londonderry, Northern Ireland). She flew many record flights, published several books and accomplished much for women in aviation before attempting on June 1, 1937, an around-the-world flight from Miami, Florida in a twin-engine Lockheed Electra. She and navigator Frederick J. Noonan were flying from Lae, New Guinea to Howland Island when they disappeared over the Pacific Ocean on July 2, 1937. A exhaustive sea and air search, ordered by President Franklin Roosevelt, was unsuccessful in locating Earhart and Noonan.
