Amelia Earhart was born in Kansas in 1897 and developed an early interest in aviation after seeing her first airplane at age 10. She had her first flying lesson in 1921 and went on to break many aviation records, including being the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean in 1932. In 1937, Earhart embarked on a planned round-the-world flight but disappeared over the central Pacific Ocean near Howland Island on July 2nd. Despite an extensive search, no conclusive evidence of her fate was ever found. She was declared dead in absentia in 1939.

3. EARLY FLYING
EXPERIENCES
 On December 28, 1920, Earhart and her father visited an airfield
where Frank Hawks gave her a ride that would forever change
Earhart's life. "By the time I had got two or three hundred feet off the
ground," she said, "I knew I had to fly." After that 10-minute flight
.She immediately became determined to learn to. Earhart had her
first lessons, beginning on January 3, 1921, at Kinner Field, near
Long Beach. To reach the airfield, Earhart had to take a bus to the
end of the line, then walk four miles (6 km). Her teacher was Anita
"Neta" Snook, a pioneer female aviator who used a surplus Curtiss
JN-4 "Canuck" for training. Earhart arrived with her father and a
singular request, "I want to fly. Will you teach me?"
