1. Amelia Earhart
BY: S.SAI ANUSHA

2.  Amelia Earhart was born in
Atchison, Kansas on July 24th 1897
 She took her first ride in an airplane
in 1920. After her flight, she said,
"As soon as I left the ground, I knew
I had to fly." Within a few days, she
took her first flying lesson. About
Six months later, she bought her
own airplane that she named "The
Canary.“ She was not naturally a
good pilot, but she kept at her
dream and broke the woman's
altitude record in 1922.
 She studied at Columbia for a while
but her family didn’t have enough
money so she decided to withdraw

3.  In 1928, Amelia Earhart received a
phone call inviting her to become
the first woman passenger to cross
the Atlantic Ocean in a plane.
 On June 17, after several delays,
Amelia flew in a plane named
Friendship with co-pilots Wilmer
Stultz and Louis Gordon. The plane
landed at Burry Port, South Wales. 
 Her first trip across the Atlantic
took more than 20 hours! After that
flight Earhart became a media
sensation.
 Because her record-breaking career
was so similar to pioneering pilot,
Charles Lindbergh, she earned the
nickname "Lady Lindy."
 Earhart wrote a book about her first
flight across the Atlantic, called 20
Hrs., 40 Min

4.  By early 1932 no other person had
flown solo across the Atlantic since
Lindbergh.
 On May 20, 1932, exactly 5 years
after the Lindbergh flight, Amelia's
Lockheed Vega began the journey.
Since she did not drink coffee or
tea, she stayed awake by using
smelling salts on long trips.
 Somewhat off-course, she landed in
an open field near Londonderry in
Ireland.

5.  In the autumn of 1934, Amelia
announced to George Putnam that
her next venture would be a trans-
Pacific flight from Hawaii to
California. Also another one to
Washington D.C. Ten pilots had lost
their lives attempting this flight.
Amelia would be the first to
successfully fly this flight. A civilian
plane carried a two-way radio
telephone for communication.
 She departed Wheeler Field on
January 11, 1935 and landed in
Oakland, California and heard
thousands of people cheering.

6.  In the next couple of months,
Amelia was on the road almost non-
stop with her lecture tours. Right
after meeting the Consul-General of
Mexico, Amelia flew to Mexico City
on a goodwill visit. When she got
back, she announced that she had
accepted an appointment at Purdue
University in Indiana. At the
university she would be a consultant
in the department for the study of
careers for women.

7.  She decided that her next trip would
be to fly around the world. In March
1937, she flew to Hawaii with fellow
pilot Paul Mantz. Earhart lost control
of the plane on takeoff, and the plane
had to be sent to the factory for
repairs. In June, she went to Miami to
try the flight again, this time with Fred
Noonan as her navigator.
 The two made it to New Guinea in 21
days. During the next part of the trip,
they departed New Guinea for
Howland Island. July 2, 1937, was the
last time Earhart and Noonan
communicated with a nearby Coast
Guard ship. They were never heard
from again.
 No one knows for sure what
happened, but many people believe
they got lost and ran out of fuel and
died. After a very hard search, Amelia
Earhart was claimed dead on January
5th 1939

10. Amelia Earhart
"...now and then women should do for themselves what men have already done - occasionally what men
have not done--thereby establishing themselves as persons, and perhaps encouraging other women
toward greater independence of thought and action. Some such consideration was a contributing reason
for my wanting to do what I so much wanted to do.

11. with George Putnam
First President of The Ninety-Nines
Women's Aviation Group
"The more one does and sees and feels, the more one is able to do, and the more genuine may be one's
appreciation of fundamental things like home, and love, and understanding companionship

16. Possible theories of what
happened to Amelia........

17. Captured by Japanese
...or was a spy
Tokyo Rose was a generic name given by Allied forces in the South Pacific during World War II to
any of approximately a dozen English-speaking female broadcasters of Japanese propaganda. Their
intent was to disrupt the morale of Allied forces listening to the broadcast near the Japanese mainland.[1]
According to rumors circulating among GIs, Tokyo Rose routinely identified American units on air,
sometimes even naming individual soldiers. Her purported predictions of impending attacks were,
according to many, unnervingly accurate, but there are no radio scripts, transcripts, or recordings of such
broadcasts. Nevertheless, these stories continue to appear in popular histories of World War II and
popular movies, such as Flags of Our Fathers. [2] Similar rumors surround the propaganda broadcasts of
Lord Haw-Haw and Axis Sally.[3]
