Amelia Earhart's Impact on Aviation History
1. Essay on A Child Called
A Child Called Amelia Mary Earhart was born on July 24, 1897 in Atchison, Kansas. She was the
daughter of a railroad attorney and had a younger sister named Muriel. Amelia was a tomboy and
was always interested in learning. She was educated at Columbia University and Harvard Summer
School. She taught English to immigrant factory workers. During
World War I, Amelia was a volunteer in a Red Cross hospital.
Amelia heard of a woman pilot, Neta Snook, who gave flying lessons. She had her first lesson on
January 2, 1921. On July 24, 1921, Amelia bought her first plane, a prototype of the Kinner airplane
and named it "The Canary."
In 1928, she accepted the invitation of the American pilots Wilmer Stultzman and ... Show more

All she took with her to eat and drink on this trip was water, soup, and tomato juice. Amelia broke
several records on this flight. She was the first woman to fly over the Atlantic Ocean solo, the only
person to fly it twice, it was the longest non–stop distance flown by a woman, and the flight set a
record for crossing the Atlantic in the shortest time.
When Amelia returned to New York after her famous flight, she was honored by a ticker tape
parade. President Roosevelt presented her with the Special Gold Medal from the National
Geographic Society. Honors of all kinds were given to Amelia, as well as keys to many cities in the
United States. The United States Congress awarded her with the Distinguished Flying Cross. Amelia
was voted as Woman of the Year which she accepted on behalf of all women.
Amelia's next venture would be a transpacific flight from Hawaii to California, then on the
Washington D.C. Ten pilots had already lost their lives attempting this crossing. She departed
Wheeler Field in Honolulu and landed in Oakland, California to a cheering crowd of thousands.
After this flight, Amelia was busy on the road almost non–stop with her lecture tours. During this
time, she accepted an appointment at Purdue
University in Indiana. She would be a consultant in the Department for the Study of
Careers for Women.
Later in 1935, Amelia began to make plans for an around the

5. Short Essay On Amelia Earhart
The Lockheed air ship carrying American pilot Amelia Earhart and guide Frederick Noonan is
reported missing on July 2, 1937. Earhart's round–the–world–flight was cut short when her
Lockheed Electra disappeared over the Pacific Ocean.
She was born in Atchison, Kansas 1897. One year her and her family went on a Christmas vacation
to visit her sister in Toronto, 1917. During this vacation, a pilot flew his plane near her. That
Christmas vacation would have the biggest impact the rest of her life. She started flying at the age of
24 and later known as one of the most punctual female pilots. In 1927, Charles A. Lindbergh flew
solo nonstop across the Atlantic Ocean. A year later, in 1928, the publisher of Lindbergh's
autobiography, George P. Putnam, also Earhart's soon to be husband, invited Earhart to become the
first woman to fly across the Atlantic Ocean.
Departing from Miami first, on June 1, 1937, Earhart and Fred, the navigator, set out on her journey
around the world. This trip would be 29,000 miles long heading east. As Earhart was approaching
Howland Island, she sent out a message to the U.S. Drift Guard that she was lost and running low on
fuel. To get fuel she would need to stop and land on Howland Island, which is only 1.5 miles long
and a half mile wide. Landing on ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
One theory from a school scholar thinks that Earhart was a secret agent working for a close friend,
Franklin D. Roosevelt and his wife Eleanor. The scholar claims when they went off course, they
were trying to spy on Japanese–occupied islands in the Pacific, or Earhart and Noonan landed on
one of the islands by the Japanese and was captured and held as prisoners. But another theory of her
disappearance is she landed safely and came back to America, changed her name and started a new

The name Amelia Earhart is a familiar one to most. It's a name whose reputation is spoken of at least
once or twice throughout any American's required education. Her title of being the first women to
fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean isn't the only reason as to why her name is so popular. Nine years
post feat she vanished without a trace in an attempt to circumnavigate the globe along the equator.
Once Amelia had made the decision to be the first person to circumnavigate the world by the

Among the most absurd are tales of alien kidnappings, while more reasonable ones include stories of
washing up on an uninhabited island and surviving for years off of the land. Over the years since
Amelia's disappearance, items have been found on several islands surrounding the areas of Howland
Island. Nikumaroro Island is one of many islands that has had many items turn up over the years,
including bones, clothes, makeshift tools, and even freckle cream. One particular set of bones was
found in 1940 by a local on the island, leading to correspondence between Gerald Gallagher, who
sought to populate the island and the authorities at the Tarawa office. A Tarwa officer asked for the
possibility of the bones belonging to Earhart and Noonan silent and asks for further analyzation to
be made. "Gallagher responds on Oct. 17 that it isn't a complete skeleton–– just a skull, lower jaw
(with no dental work), one vertebra, half a pelvis, part of a scapula, a humerus, radius, tibia and
fibula and two femora"(Biography.com Editors). The bones were sent to several locations before
finally ending up in the hands of Doctor Hoodless in early 1941. He was the last known person to be
in possession of the bones and in his analysis, he only included estimates for height, gender, age,

13. How Did Amelia Earhart Impact On Aviation
Amelia Earhart's Impact on Aviation
Amelia Earhart was flying her plane over the Pacific Ocean on July 2, 1937, when she disappeared.
Amelia's career in aviation helped to promote flying and women's rights, which is why it was so
important to find her when she disappeared. Amelia's outstanding record in aviation helped evolve
aviation, and helped women strive for independence and greatness.
Amelia Earhart set many records for flying and set a good impression for woman. She bought her
first plane in 1922 and flew it to 14,000 feet, the altitude record for female pilots. However, Amelia
Earhart was not first inspired by the airplane. It was not until she was already a nurse's assistant for
Toronto's Spadina Military Hospital that she became intrigued by airplanes. These actions showed
women that they will not always know right away what they want. Also that they should never settle
because they might find something they enjoy more. Amelia bought her first plane within six
months of her first flying lesson for $2,000, which shows that she liked flying enough to believe in
her dreams. Amelia sold her first plane in 1924 when ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
This shows that she was strong enough to make it in aviation, and helps show women that might
want to go into aviation, but are scared of failure, that they can do it. On June 17, 1928, she flew
from Trepassey Harbor, Newfoundland with Wilmer Stultz, and Louis Gordon to Burry Point,
Wales. Due to weather Wilmer did all the flying on the twenty hour, forty minute flight. After this
flight she said she felt she "was just baggage, like a sack of potatoes." Then said "....maybe someday
I'll try it alone." After this flight she returned to a fashion job and created her own fashion line. Her
career in fashion made her a respected celebrity. With this new found publicity she set out to make

17. Amelia Earhart Research Paper
Amelia Earhart was an aviator that went missing during her final flight in 1937. The flight plan had
originally been made for Amelia to land on Howland Island but, because of failure in finding the
island, she landed on what is now known as Nikumaroro. Since her disappearance, many people
have tried to find her with no results. The only evidence that can lead to her disappearance, is her
low plane fuel and the logs she left to Itasca during her final journey around the Pacific. The
investigations have also raised suspicion as to what happened to Amelia, from being captured by the
Japanese to changing her identity in New Jersey. Many arguments exist around the disappearance of
Amelia Earhart; however, the plane crashing and Earhart dying as a castaway on an uninhabited
island proves as the most plausible theory.
When Amelia flew with Frank Hawks, she felt like flying. When she had decided to get lessons, she
took on different jobs to save money and learned from, "Neta Snook, the first aviatrix to run her own
aviation business" (American Legends). With the money Amelia saved, she purchased her first plane

One of the discredited theories involved Saipan, where witnesses claimed to have seen Amelia be
captured and executed by the Japanese. When people were interviewed about Earhart on Saipan, ex–
marine Robert Wallace claims that a, "briefcase was found in a safe" (earhartonsaipan). Other people
on Saipan claim to have seen Amelia be captured and taken to a prison on the island. Just like the
people on Saipan, a man from Marshall islands claimed, "she landed on our island, and my uncle
watched her for two days" (news.nationalgeographic.com). As the interview continued many people
claimed her plane was gunned down, landed on the island, and she was led to a hotel. As far as the

The disappearance of the "Babe of the sky"
Amelia Earhart was, and still is, one of the most famous women in history for being the first woman
to cross the Atlantic Ocean. On July 2nd, 1937, the famous pilot and her navigator, Fred Noonan,
mysteriously vanished while attempting to circumnavigate the globe around the equator ("The Odd
Vanishing Of Amelia Earhart."). There are many different theories on what could have happened
that day that range in believability and it is important to add that there is little to no evidence for any
of them. The circumstances to where and when they died also had a large factor in the conspiracies.
Earhart and Noonan's plan was to circle around the globe starting and ending in California, USA.
The flight would start on May 21st, 1937, was to last approximately forty days, and they were going
to make many stops, zigzagging along the equator to refuel ("The Odd Vanishing Of Amelia

Both Earhart and Noonan are believed to have died in the crash, northwest of their destination of
Howland Island. Many skeptics have said that an electra of that model should have lasted twenty
four hours in the air rather than the twenty that it did (Long). However, according to the Jet
Propulsion Center (JPC) at Caltech, that with the headwind and the 10,000 ft climb she had to take
at the beginning of the trip, Earhart's plane would've been out of fuel at the time of the
disappearance. Many groups had taken years to search the area all around the island to try to find
any evidence of the crash. They used divers and sonar mapping in and around the area but there has
been nothing of significant evidence found yet ("The Odd Vanishing Of Amelia Earhart."). This

She was an inspiration to proving that women can do beyond their mindset. Many women came to
believe that there would be no rights for women after she died. Earhart was the face of
independence, bravery, freedom, and stability all in one (Winters 32). She was so well known that
news headlines went up the next day after she was reported lost (Fleming 106). There was no
funeral or memorial service because no body was ever found. There were no national tributes or
flags lowered because no one wanted to accept she was dead and failed. Two years later, January 5,
1939, Earhart was finally pronounced legally dead upon request of her husband, George Putnam. He
spent so much to locate his wife that he eventually became poor from all the expenses of searches

33. Amelia Earhart The Lost Evidence Summary
Was Amelia Earhart a Prisoner of the Japanese? In July of 2017, the History Channel debuted its
newest documentary, "Amelia Earhart – The Lost Evidence." The documentary claimed to be
investigating new, shocking evidence that purports that the famed pilot and her navigator, Fred
Noonan, were in fact captured by the Japanese following their crash in the Pacific Ocean. However,
the History Channel halted promotions of the show as it came to light that the picture, which FBI
official Shawn Henry claimed to show Earhart and Noonan at Jaluit Atoll, was taken in 1935, two
years before their disappearance. The documentary even further dilutes their claim by incorrectly
presenting documentation they claimed held information stating that Earhart and Noonan were
Japanese prisoners. Considering this revelation, Ric Gillespie, founder and executive director of
TIGHAR (The International Group for Historic Aircraft Recovery) uses sufficient reasoning and
analyzation of data in his argument to discredit the claims of the documentary in his article,
"Crickets and Corrections." Upon reading this article, I immediately noted that Gillespie felt that the
information presented in the documentary was mishandled. His tone throughout the article indicates
that while he is displeased with the investigators allowing the producers for creating false

evidence, the documentary presented a photo that analysts claimed showed Earhart and Noonan was
likely taken between 1937 and 1943. However, the History Channel halted promotions of the show
as it came to light that the picture was taken in 1935, two years before the duo's disappearance. The

today even after a devastating mishap that cause her body to never be found (Amelia Earhart
Biography). She, Amelia, had a challenging childhood that caused others to see her differently, but
she still grew up to achieve many things. Amelia Earhart lived, in the early 1900's, a childhood most
children did not experience. She was born on July 24, 1897 in Atchison, Kansas at her grandparents
house. Their father, Edwin, was an alcoholic, and had a hard time keeping a job to provide for his
family. Because of this, both Amelia and her younger sister were raised in their grandparents house,
an upper–class family, until Amelia was around 10 years old. Amy, Amelia's mother, did not want
her children to be raised around a man that would not have a good effect on them. Amelia and her
sister moved around from house to house for most of their childhoods. Amelia's last move was to
Chicago with her mother and younger sister. There, they roomed with friends of the family (Amelia
Earhart Biography.com). In Chicago, Amelia attended Hyde Park High School and graduated in
1915. A few years after graduation, Amelia went to visit her sister in Toronto, Canada. While in

Amelia Earhart was the first woman to defy the odds and fly over the Atlantic Ocean. If not for her,
and her defiant nature against the superiority of men, she would not have become one of the most
remarkable people in United States history. She paved a path for all future men and women alike to
continue their journey to an astounding victory.
She lived with her sister and her mother in Medford, Massachusetts, for a bit of time while working
as a settlement house social worker (LAMBERT). She always had an interest in flying, preferring to
be around the men in the relatively small city. They talked dirt, grease, airplanes, and mechanics.
Above all subjects, this was what Amelia found to be most interesting. She was not worried about
her attire or appearance, avoiding the latest fads and keeping with the simplicity of khakis and flight
jumpers. It was because of her attitude that the men did not mind having Earhart around, in fact,
they enjoyed her presence.
When she was not spending her time as a social worker, she was out logging her flights. She had
developed a passion for the art of flight from the very start. It was not too long after she had really
gained interest that she had joined a small flight crew. She and the men would be traveling from
Newfoundland to Wales. From then on she spent more time in the air than she ever did on the
ground. In 1922 she flew over the Atlantic with a different crew, and then again flew solo in 1932.

goal ended when Amelia disappeared during her last flight from Lae New Guinea to Howland
island. Amelia´s aviation journey has left many unanswered questions. The main question is, what
happened to her on her last flight over the Pacific ocean. Amelia came a from a middle class family
during a time when women were expected at an early age to get married and have children, not
pursue male activities such as exploring. Amelia´s disappearance left the public in shock and would
generate many theories on what happened to her. Amelia was born in Atchison, Kansas, July 24th in

japanese, they were both taken hostage and later executed, 3) Amelia was a spy who later returned
to the US and lived her life as Irene Bowman. 4) Amelia and Fred survived the crash and swam to a

Many thought that Amelia had been on a spy mission to the Marshall Islands authorized by
President Roosevelt and was captured by japanese troops. This theory extended to claim that she
purposely crashed the plane into the Pacific on a suicide run. Another theory was that Earhart and
Noonan were flying and ditched or crashed and perished at sea. Others thought that she had crashed
into the Bermuda Triangle, which is an area in the Atlantic Ocean where planes have mysteriously
disappeared. A further theory is that Amelia and Fred had landed at Gardner Island( now known as
Nikumaroro ) and died there. People believe this theory because investigators found bits of clothing,
an aluminum panel, and a piece of Plexiglas the exact size and curvature of and Electra window.
Then recently, in May 2012, investigators found a jar of freckle cream on a remote island in the
south. Many investigators believe this cream belonged to Amelia. Later, in October 2014, it was
reported that researchers at The International Group for Historic Aircraft Recovery (TIGHAR)
identified a fragment of Amelia's plane. TIGHAR think that the skeleton of a castaway that was
found on the island Nikumaroro, Kiribati, in 1920 may belong to Amelia Earhart. "Until we started

The likelihood of this being true is extremely slim, mostly because Amelia's flight path was nowhere
near Japan and that the flight was extreme public and popular ruining the purpose behind it. The
only reason some people believe that this is true is because when U.S. soldiers on the Island of

73. Amelia Earhart Research Paper
A search party set sail for a remote Pacific island this weekend to look for clues about the fate of
Amelia Earhart.
The American aviation pioneer disappeared 80 years ago during an attempt to fly around the world.
In the latest National Geographic–sponsored expedition seeking Earhart's remains, a group of
forensic dogs will be brought to the island of Nikumaroro to sniff for human bones.
Earhart was already a famous aviator by the time she set off for her round–the–world flight in June
1937. Among her many other records, she was the first woman, and second person after Charles
Lindbergh, to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean in 1932. Her flight around the world wouldn't have
been the first, but it would have been the longest, following a 29,000–mile (47,000 kilometers) route
close to the equator. [In Photos: Searching for Aviator Amelia Earhart] ... Show more content on

They were last seen on July 2, 1937, in Lae, New Guinea, as they ventured toward Howland Island
in one of the last legs of thejourney.
The U.S. Coast Guard cutter Itasca had been waiting at Howland Island to offer radio assistance and
a smoke signal so that the flyers could better locate the mile–wide strip of land in the Pacific. But
communication was spotty, and Earhart's last transmissionsindicate she thought she was near her
destination but couldn't find it and was running out of fuel.
Theories abound about what happened next, ranging from the more credible (they crashed in the
ocean) to the more imaginative (Earhart was really a spy and was captured by the Japanese, or she

Her second time was in June when her plane was repaired after the first time. According to the
national geographic film "Where is Amelia Earhart" from 2009 Amelia's last words before she took
off were "find me if you can". Amelia and her Navigator Fred went on an all around trip on July 2,
1937 and never returned, and we have been looking for her and Fred ever since. When the navy ship
Itasca lost communication with Amelia, they sent out the most expensive search party in U.S history.
Ther search consisted of 250 square miles, 60 aircrafts, 9 ships, 80 islands, and 165 people. They
eventually gave up looking on July 19th, 1937. They were both declared dead on Janaury 5th 1939,

As of 2017 the United States has invested over forty million dollars in Amelia Earhart's
disappearance. There's many theories out there of where she went or how she died. While many
scholars/scientists believe that she crashed and was captured and held by the Japanese, all credible
evidence reveals her plane crashed on an island, Nikumaroro, and she died there before colonists
discovered the island. On March 17th, 1937, Earhart began her first attempt on flying to Howland,
which was unsuccessful. She did not even take off due to plane problems, which were either the
Electras right tire being blown, or the right landing gear shift collapsing. They decided to cancel the

85. Amelia Earhart : Equal Rights And Equal Rights
"Women must try to do things as men have tried. When they fail their failure must be but a
challenge to others." Said Amelia Earhart, an instrumental supporter of the equal rights amendment,
an amendment that was first proposed in Congress by the national women's party in 1923 and it
proposed that the united states constitution was designed to guarantee equal rights for all citizens
regardless of gender. Amelia Earhart, during her exciting lifetime, proved that women could be as
strong as men. She was born on July 24th in 1897. She was considered a tomboy and you could
often find her climbing trees or hunting rats with her rifle. She even kept a journal of successful
women in male–oriented fields. She saw her first plane at the state fair ... Show more content on

Amelia thought it was a prank and it wasn't until a few minutes later that she realized the man was
serious. She excitedly replies yes! This task was very risky. Three other pilots had died within that
year trying to fly across the Atlantic Ocean. Even so, Amelia went on with it and successfully
became the very first woman to fly across the Atlantic Ocean. A reception was held at the white
house by president Coolidge for her impressive achievement. Later, on February 17th in 1931, she
married George Putnam and together they both secretly worked on plans for Amelia to become the
first women and the second person to fly solo across the Atlantic ocean. On May 20th in 1932, she
took off from New Foundland to Paris France. There were very powerful winds and icy conditions
requiring her to adjust her landing area and land in a farmers backyard located in Ireland.
Afterwards, Amelia felt the flight had proved that mean and women were equal in "jobs, speed,
coolness, and willpower". On January 11th, 1935 she became the first person to fly solo across the
Pacific Ocean from Honolulu Hawaii to Oakland California. In 1937, on Amelia Earhart's 40th
birthday, she decided she wanted to do something extravagant. She decided she would fly around
the entire world. Her first attempt was in March but damaged her plane and could not try again until
she got it fixed. On June 1st she started her second attempt. Amelia and her navigator departed from

During her lifetime, Amelia Earhart was renown around the world for her daring flights, record–
breaking achievements and courage. On her last flight, she set the goal of flying around the world.
Her last contact with the world was on June 2, 1937. Within hours, rescue workers began searching
the Pacific Ocean for her Lockheed Electra. The United States Navy and Coast Guard were sent on
on the most expensive search in American history. Despite their efforts, Amelia Earhart was never
found.

on her way to Howland Island. They believe that she used more fuel than expected because she was
unable to find the island. As a result, she ultimately ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
In one theory, conspiracy theorists believe that she was a secret agent sent by the United States
government to spy on Japanese–occupied islands. Another theory believes that she touched down on
the uninhabited island of Nikumaroro. Since 1989, an organization called the International Group
for for Historic Aircraft Recovery has combed the island to search for artifacts from her flight. At
one point, a British colonial officer found remains on the island, but the bones were misplaced
before they could be tested.
A Lifetime of Achievement
Amelia Earhart first became a household name after her 1928 decision to fly across the Atlantic. In
1932, she set out to achieve that goal. Leaving Newfoundland, it took her 15 hours to reach
Northern Ireland. She followed up this achievement with records for speed and altitude. In 1935, she
was the first person to ever fly from Hawaii to California alone. It took her 18 hours to complete the
flight, and she arrived to thousands of cheering fans.
By 1937, Amelia Earhart decided that she would make an around–the–world flight. Her goal was to
fly close to the equator, but her first attempt ended in a plane crash. On May 21, 1937, Earhart set
out for her second trip around the world. Leaving Oakland, California, she crossed the United
States, the Caribbean and entered Brazil. From there, she continued to West Africa, India, Thailand,

Amelia Earhart was born on July 24, 1897 in Kansas. She was a nurse's aide in World War I, where
"she developed a strong admiration for aviators, spending much of her free time watching the Royal
Flying Corps practicing at the airfield nearby" ("Amelia Earhart"). In 1920, she went on a ten
minute plane ride in Long Beach and decided she wanted to learn how to fly ("Amelia Earhart").
She wanted to be "the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic" (Grossman). Amelia, and her
flying partner Fred Noonan, set out on June 1, 1937 to try and accomplish this. By June 29,
approximately 22,000 miles of their trip had been completed when they stopped in New Guinea for
repairs ("Amelia Earhart"). They were supposed to land on Howland Island to refuel the plane about
2,556 miles after starting the final 7,000 miles of their journey ("Amelia Earhart"). They could not
find the island because of some problems they were experiencing ("Amelia Earhart").

101. Amelia Earhart Disappearance Theory
How could someone survive a plane crash? Since Amelia Earhart's disappearance, theories were
developed trying to explain what was taken into effect, after there was no response from her in the
Pacific ocean. Some either believe that Japanese troops kidnapped her, she died as a castaway, or
that Earhart lived under another identity. In the end, Amelia Earhart did survive her attempted
voyage around the world. Earhart's mysterious disappearance lead to different theories. One of those
theories is that the Japanese kidnapped Amelia Earhart and her navigator Noonan, holding them
captive. Earhart and Noonan were making a stop on Howland island, but before they arrived they
lost connection with the U.S. Coast Guard. Years later, a picture was discovered in the U.S. National
Archives displaying what is supposed Earhart and Noonan near Japanese troops. Along with the two
missing people in the photograph, parts of plane were behind them. An American spy took the
picture. An article in:
"Kent Gibson, a facial recognition expert, who studied the photo, said in the History Channel special
that it's 'very convincing evidence' that the photo is of Noonan. 'The hairline is the most distinctive
characteristic,' Gibson said. 'It's a very sharp receding hairline. The nose is very prominent.'"
A facial recognition expert confirmed that the U.S. spies photograph could possibly be Noonan and

At one point in her last flight, Amelia had entered the longest and most difficult passage and the
following results have been a mystery. The second to last checkpoint of this flight was from New
Guinea to Howland Island. The 2,500 miles were never completed. The "Electra" was supposed to
endure twenty hours. After the fifteenth hour or so, things started to go wrong. On July 2, radio
workers on Howland Island started to hear some signals. They weren't completely clear, but the
workers knew the signals were coming in from Amelia's plane. This showed that she was in some
kind of trouble and really needed to talk to somebody. Very soon it became clear that she couldn't
hear their frantic radio signals back to her. Her last try of sending a radio signal was recorded 8:43
local time on July 2, 1937 ("Earhart Overview"). The immediate search for her and Noonan was
headed by the Navy. The Navy started searching near and around Howland Island. Many people,
even soldiers from the Civil War, came to help search for her and her navigator. They searched
everywhere they could think of but had no success. On July 18, they called off the search. The Navy
had their own opinion on what had happened. "The general opinion was that the plane had probably
run out of gas, gone down at sea, and sunk without a trace." (Beheim). She never finished the last
leg of her flight, much to the people's
